Tbilisi State Academy of Arts - facade

The Tbilisi State Academy of Art was founded in 1922. At present, it can be seen as a possible attractive partner, representing the country with multi- cultural intersections and diverse artistic expressions, basing on traditional knowledge linked with contemporary approach. Ever since its foundation, it has been located in a Palace - the Monument of Cultural Heritage, constructed in the middle of the XIX century. Academy’s artistic appearance is especially valuable and has an eclectic character: The facade is typically European, though in the building’s interior the Baroque style co-exists with elements of late Classicist and late Iranian – so called Qajar styles.
