The Museum-Reserve was founded in 1958 in Mtskheta, the ancient capital of the state of Iberia, on the territory of the modern district of Eastern Georgia. Archaeologists from all over the world participated in the archaeological excavations of the city, during which many ancient artifacts were discovered: ceramic and glass products, bronze sculptures, tools of labor and everyday life, gold jewelry, Greek inscriptions and other finds.
At the moment, Mtskheta is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List of Cultural and historical monuments. During the walk, it is worth paying attention to the royal tomb and residence, the acropolis of the city and the fortress of Bebristsikhe.
The museum in the Samtavro Monastery has a special program for students “Children's Archeology". Little guests of Georgia will be especially interested in the museum-reserve!
