I.V. Stalin Museum

Very nice museum that displays both the original house of Stalin and his train coach. Inside there is a lot of historical material about his life, but also pre-revolutionary Russia, the October revolution, and then the Soviet Union. Everything is very well organized and described. It's a real pity that you have to pay for it, which is in contrast to his values (Lenin Mausoleum is free), besides I had the very bad idea of buying a magnet and a few postcards which were very expensive. Beside that, it's one of the not many yet best and genuine places you can visit in Georgia. Time is ticking fast toward EU homologation, in Tbilisi this is much more noticeable, unfortunately. In Gori, there is still some resistance.

It is definitely worth visiting the museum, I love the spirit of the USSR. The expositions are full of photographs and documents, newspapers, letters. There are interesting works by Georgian artists. But it is worth noting the museum staff, who tolerate Russian-speaking visitors with dignity. The guides call themselves historians (since when is it not very clear, perhaps Georgian ones can be such), they give information clearly according to the methodology. The Yalta Conference of 1945 was held in Ukraine, it's interesting, but Katyn was arranged by the Russians. It is said peremptorily and with a proudly raised head. Any discussion on this subject is stopped on the spot, no wonder the museum of Comrade Stalin, and they threaten to stop the tour and leave the group of listeners.
But as Comrade Stalin said: Man is not eternal. And I'm going to die. What will be the judgment of the people and history? There were a lot of mistakes, but there were also achievements, right? Mistakes, of course, will be attributed to me. A pile of garbage will be put on my grave, but one day the wind of history will mercilessly scatter it.
"history does not know the subjunctive mood" by I. V. Stalin in a conversation with the German writer Emil Ludwig.
If you are in Gori, be sure to visit this place.
The locals respect the personality of I. Stalin and honor his memory.

The museum itself may be informative, but the guide who took us through the exhibit spoiled the whole impression. A monotonous story without emotion or participation. We read more in the photo. Disgusting! Wasted time and money. How can you work with such a mood in a profession that should charge you with love for your business?!
I hope you are lucky and you will have another guide who will immerse you in the life of I. Stalin.

Whether you like this place or not depends very much on the guide. I very unsuccessfully got to a Russian-speaking Georgian (blonde with a square). There was nothing more boring than what I heard. The woman was talking under her breath, I couldn't make out half of the words because of the silence. In my case, the impression was definitely spoiled. The guide in the English group was much more interesting.

We wanted to visit the Stalin Museum, bought tickets for GEL 15, at the ticket office they said that the guide was free. I asked when to expect the tour to start, to which the cashier called the guide (a Georgian woman with a discolored square), she told us that there was no tour in Russian now and if we did not want to walk around the museum ourselves, then we could return the tickets to the ticket office, which we did. It's a pity, we came here specifically for an excursion. This attitude was not expected.

Great tour.The exposition is poor in originals, but everything is covered by the presentation of interesting information. The view of Stalin as a man, not a politician.Admission: adult - 15 GEL, child - 1 GEL.

Замечательное место! Музей, дом, в котором родился и рос Сталин. Обязательно для посещения всем: и тем, кто уважает Сталина, понимает и ценит его огромный положительный вклад в развитие нашей страны и сегодняшнее мирное небо над головой, и тем, кто ещё этого не осознаёт. Был русскоговорящий экскурсовод. Всё очень понравилось.

You can call this place a museum conditionally, because it's more like a photo gallery. Don't waste money on getting to know photos of an unworthy person

Специально ехать сюда не стоит, особенно если вы не фанат Иосифа Джугашвили.
Экспозиция интересная, много оригинальных вещей и подарков, но цена входного билета завышена.
Экскурсоводы особых тайн вам не откроют, а всем известную информацию многие и так знают.

It's a little creepy place. But if you don't think about the person, then this is an integral artifact of the era and an object reflecting social, psychological (and psychiatric) processes. In such optics, it becomes curious

The Stalin Museum, personally, made a heavy impression on me. I couldn't get rid of this heavy aura even the next day. I went to church , I felt better . The great Dostoevsky wrote correctly - Demons.

Рассказывают про молодость, семью, увлечения, быт. Очень много про подарки ему. Как он дошёл до того, чтобы иметь собственный музей остаётся полностью за кадром. Слова голод, репрессии, коллективизация ровно один раз без объяснения. Отношение экскурсовода подчёркнуто нейтральное, чувствуется некоторая гордость за выдающегося земляка. Делайте выводы, особенно из того что не говорят

Мне понравилось. Очень познавательно и интересно. Что бы не говорили, но под его руководством выиграли войну. Стоит его бронепоезд, который тоже можно посетить. Личные вещи, трубки. Письма.

В 21 веке таких музеев не должно быть
По существу: сам музей потрясает безвкусием оформления
