Beautiful example of modernism, the building is perfectly renovated and functional. It hosts the Bank of Georgia HQ and it was not possible for me to visit the interior. Also the surroundings are a worth a visit with their Soviet style university and apartment buildings in a mostly greenish area.
They did not change dollars for lari, no one knows Russian, only Georgian citizens have the right to exchange. I was in 4 banks in Tbilisi, I couldn't change anywhere, thanks to my fellow countrymen, they changed it.the younger generation does not understand Russian at all and English too. As a tourist, I was upset.
