I really liked the museum. Houses and utensils were moved, as well as the surroundings of houses of the 9th-18th centuries from different places in Georgia were recreated. So far, there are not so many restored houses that you can go inside - 5-6. Each one has a guide who tells about the history of these houses and the way of life of the people who lived in them. They are very friendly, they will additionally answer about the subjects of interest and customs, if you did not have enough information told. The only disadvantage is that it is inconvenient to get there, you need to go by car or taxi, or walk along the highway without a sidewalk)
An amazing museum! It gives an idea of the way of life and traditions of all regions of the country.
In addition, I was lucky enough to get to the performance of the Didgorifolk musical group, completely free of charge, for the cost of entrance tickets to the museum.
You need to hear it with your own ears in this place!!!
A piece of Georgia's soul lives here.
I recommend it!
Architecture, houses and household items with a century-old history from all over Georgia.
Crafts, masterclasses, atmospheric.
It is a very cinematic place that the guests of Tbilisi know little about. Breathtaking views from the mountain to modern Tbilisi. I highly recommend it. Confident 5+
It's the most unusual museum format I've ever seen. Houses from different regions of Georgia, collected by an enthusiastic ethnographer on a large territory of a Green park. I tell all my friends - no one has even heard of this place. We need more advertising!
We came twice, but did not get on the tour, because the football championship was watched here twice, everything was prepared for the fans, we could not get into the museum) take into account all these events when planning a trip to the museum. There are often some open-air events) the price is 20 GEL per adult and 6 GEL per child
A gorgeous museum! It's big and very interesting. Inside some houses there are guides who conduct a mini-tour (they can in Russian). The price-quality ratio is good
There are caretakers in the houses who tell about the family who lived in the house. All the houses are real, brought from different parts of Georgia. I'll have to go downhill.
A very interesting idea of the museum. The guides are friendly, speak Russian, it was pleasant and informative to listen to them. There were not enough signs on the territory, at the far exposition, where the old ruined church, I would also like to see an information stand. It would be great to add an audio guide.
It is interesting to walk in good weather. Not everything is open for some reason. Life in rural houses is very similar, that's why I want to see different houses, but it was closed.
I'm sure the place is interesting, but I didn't get there. The entrance to the ethnographic park. And I was on the Turtle Lake side. He did not climb over the fence, but did not go down. I chose an alternative option for active recreation. But it's definitely worth a visit.
An interesting place, not all the houses were open during our visit, and there was a little lack of information from the guides, but in any case we had a nice time
An interesting place, historically informative and revealing. Old houses, life and structure of Georgians in the 18th and 19th century. I recommend going.
A wonderful museum displaying the traditional rural architecture and way of life of Georgia. From a series of open-air museums created in the 20th century in different regions of the USSR. There is a large area on the mountainside, you need to be ready for a long walk.
I liked the museum. He is just what is commonly called authentic. This place contains ancient houses and household items from different regions of Georgia. You can take a walk and watch. If you walk a little further, there will be a cable car (wonderful photos are guaranteed) and a lake. We were at the end of winter, so we just sat in a cozy restaurant overlooking this lake. In summer, there's probably a local resort there.
A good place to walk, plus you can learn a lot of interesting things about Georgia. In every house available to the public, there is a caretaker ready to tell about the exhibition. Definitely worth a visit.
He visited the museum in March 2024.
The impressions are so-so: to wander around an empty village - well, that's it.
There was no access inside the interesting-looking houses, even the courtyards were closed. There are no expositions outside the houses either. I admit that it's not the season now and everything is much more interesting in the summer, but then it shouldn't cost 20 GEL.
It's unusual and great. Individual houses from different regions of Georgia, transferred as they were entirely with furnishings and utensils, are surrounded by their own outbuildings, in each house there is a person who will tell with a soul about the house and the former inhabitants (everyone knows English, not all Russian). Well done.

An excellent open-air museum.
Historical houses transported from all over Georgia.
Guides and museum staff will answer questions and tell you about the exhibits
I am interested in visiting the Ethnographic Museum in Tbilisi after reading this article! Having learned about this place in the largest directory about Georgia, Madloba.info I realized that this is a large cultural complex showing different eras and regions of Georgia. I am very interested in seeing forges, bakeries, stables, as well as jewelry, furniture, dishes and weapons. I am glad to know that you can not only look at the museum, but also touch many exhibits. I'm already planning my trip to the museum!
I just read an article about the Open-air Ethnographic Museum named after G. Chitaia on madloba.info And I can't wait to visit this place! I have already heard about it from friends, but the detailed description and historical context that I found in this reference book captured me even more. Having learned about its significance and that it represents various regions and cultures of Georgia, I feel that visiting this museum will be a real immersion in the richness of Georgian history and heritage. I hope that soon I will be able to see all these amazing exhibits on my own and walk through the picturesque streets of this museum.
It's a very interesting place. There are many old houses, each has a guide who talks about everyday life, arrange houses of the time of construction. The guides speak Georgian, English and Russian.
Super! I liked everything! The caretaker administrators are very friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone talked about their regions and homes! I highly recommend it
An interesting open-air museum. The tour was not taken, it was expensive (80 GEL). In each house, the caretaker generally told about the life and purpose of the objects (in Russian and English, depending on whether the caretaker is young or old).

It's a pity we were late in the fall. But I still really liked this original place. In the original historical houses there were servants who willingly told (including in Russian and for any number of guests) about the Georgian way of life. You can not only walk around the territory, but also drive electric cars with responsive drivers, practically guides. No additional expenses-only the cost of the entrance ticket. Turtle Lake is not far from this park. You can walk.
It is very interesting, almost every house has a guide who tells about the house, about the life of that time, the houses were really brought from different regions, it's hard in the heat, but it's cool in the houses.
A good open-air museum, but it requires reconstruction and there is not enough money for everything in Georgia. Some parts of the museum look abandoned, roads and trees require maintenance and a change of concept is needed...but in principle it is interesting...
Admission is 20 GEL for an adult, 5 for a student. We were on a day off, there were heaps of schoolchildren on that day. Because of this, it was almost impossible to get into the only 3-4 open houses on the territory of the museum. It was clear that the guides were also tortured because of the large flow. Nevertheless, I think that they visited in vain
A wonderful open-air ethnographic museum! The history of Georgia!!! Very nice ladies guides. I wanted to see them in every house. Young people are "guides" so-so.
5 minutes by car from the Embassy of Ukraine in Tiflis . Excellent Russian-speaking guides. But the territory still needs to be improved. It 's hard to get cold water in the heat . In principle, it's not bad for a quiet walk and a photo shoot
The exhibits are good, but there are no signatures or signs for them. It turns out that if you don't take a tour, the exhibits and structures of the houses are "silent". It's not very informative if you haven't read about it in advance.
It's a good place. I recommend you to visit. Many houses have museum staff. They will tell you everything in the best possible way. It is better to go with a small group
It is a very interesting place to explore the history of Georgia. In good weather, you can spend half a day or more.
But... I read with emotion about the entrance ticket for three lari.
The ticket price is 20 GEL.
At first we went in and didn't understand anything. The signs are unclear, most of the houses are closed. We hardly found the houses open, there were guides inside who talked about their objects. The guides are friendly and tell interesting stories. I join the advice to take a separate guide to immerse myself in history, but it was quite interesting without him.
A great way to get acquainted with the culture. For just 3 GEL of entertainment for half a day! Many houses have guides who talk with interest about the features of the exposition.
