MoMA Tbilisi: A Showcase of Modern Georgian Art

The Zurab Tsereteli Museum of Modern Art (MoMA Tbilisi) is dedicated to the diverse works of Zurab Tsereteli, a prominent Georgian sculptor, painter, and architect. The museum, which opened in 2012, is located in a historic building on Rustaveli Avenue that once housed the Tiflis Cadet Corps. The museum's collection includes a wide array of Tsereteli's creations, from large-scale sculptures to paintings and enamel works. His art is characterized by its bold, imaginative style and vibrant colors. The first floor features a courtyard with a replica of Tsereteli's bronze apple monument from Moscow, which visitors can enter. The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions, showcasing modern and contemporary art. Past exhibitions have included projects like "New Faith" and displays of private collections. Beyond its art displays, MoMA Tbilisi includes a children's corner, a gift shop, a café, and a conference hall for special events. The building itself retains its historic exterior while incorporating modern architectural designs. MoMA Tbilisi provides a space for both locals and tourists to engage with modern art in Tbilisi.
