Fodor's Expert Review Adjara State Museum of Art

Georgia's achievements in fine arts are displayed across two floors in this vast neoclassical space, walled with white eclat stone and capped with a stained glass ceiling. The downstairs is dedicated to contemporary post-1950 Georgian artists llike Amiran Parqosadze, Bela Bolkvadze, and Rusudan Petviashvili, while the upper level holds the perhaps less striking permanent collection of paintings, graphics, woodcuts, ceramics, and sculpture by both Georgian and Western artists. A smaller "study" room is used for concerts, readings, lectures, and other educational events.
