The Georgian National Museum presents the exhibition “Georgian Jews – their history and culture”.

 

The exhibition is kind of a repercussion of the endeavor of Jerusalem Ben Tsvi Institute, which organized international conference: “Georgian Jews – Their history and culture”.

 The exhibition displayed paintings, drawings of national clothes, photos, religion and domestic items were kept at the Georgian National Museum, the National Manuscripts Centre and Mtskheta Museum.

In 1933-1936, to the location where Jews lived, ethnographic expedition where sent. They collected a number of drawing, photos, national costumes and other folk materials. Georgian paintings – the members of the expedition – made sketches of Jewish way of life.
