Georgian National Museum together with the Tbilisi City Assembly and the Tbilisi City Hall represents the project "Ancient Tbilisi".

 

Inventorisation of the archaeological findings unearthed in Tbilisi, creation of their data and perfection of the archaeological museum-depot’s infrastructure is going to be fulfilled within the frames of this project. 

Today we have two Tbilisi: Old and New Tbilisi. Though, the third, the Ancient one also exists. This part of Tbilisi is not unearthed yet and covers the earliest periods of its history. We do believe that their exploration will bring the great success not only to our City, but to the whole County also.
