Georgia About

Signagi Museum, in the town of Signagi (Georgian: სიღნაღი) in Georgia’s easternmost region of Kakheti, was established in 1947 and contains exhibits providing glimpses of daily life in Eastern Georgia from the Stone Age to the 20th century.

The Museum’s ethnographic collection contains five thousand artifacts, including textiles, copper and wooden domestic items, agricultural instruments, materials relating to viticulture, goldsmith works, and musical instruments. The museum periodically exhibits different parts of its collection.

On the Museum’s second floor, visitors can find a permanent exhibition of the renowned Georgian self-taught artist Niko Pirosmani (Niko Pirosmanashvili) (Georgian: ნიკო ფიროსმანი). Pirosmani was born in the village of Mirzaani in Kakheti and the region is reflected in the early period of his artistic career.
