Maya Tskitishvili, Mikheil Chkhenkeli and Giorgi Shengelia visited the building of the Museum and viewed the exhibits exposed.

“Along with the Museum exhibits, we do have the lab of international standards here, and experts will be able to conduct all required studies there. In order to study the Vani findings, we had had to take that exhibits abroad, but now this space is becoming interesting not for the visitors only, but for researchers as well. It is very pleasant that the project has tourist, as well as scientific-educational significance that  provides completely new possibilities” – Maya Tskitishvili noted.
