Why go

The Georgian National Gallery on Rustaveli Avenue puts the country's visual art in focus. Its collection is associated with artists including Niko Pirosmani, Davit Kakabadze and Lado Gudiashvili, while changing exhibitions bring other work into the rooms.

Plan the visit around what is actually on display rather than a promise to see any one painting. The gallery is an easy cultural counterpoint to a day of markets and street walks, and its building is worth noticing before you step inside.
