CHILDREN IN GEORGIAN PAINTING

From May 28, 2024 to September 23, 2024, the Sighnaghi Museum of History and Ethnography will host the exhibition – Children in Georgian Painting.

The exhibition organized by the International Children’s Fund aims to showcase the evolving public understanding of the unique phenomenon of children and childhood in fine art.

The Sighnaghi Museum of History and Ethnography hosts a retrospective exhibition of paintings and graphic works on the theme of children from the collection of the Shalva Amiranashvili State Museum of Art of Georgia.

Keeping pace with the chronicles of human fine art, the history of Georgian art comprises a unique collection of children’s images, created by both Georgian and foreign artists residing in Georgia. Most of these works are of the highest museum value of our national culture, and the public will see them for the first time.

The exhibition commemorating the International Day of Children’s Protection serves as another reminder to society that children are always important symbols of the world, and the elder generation must provide a secure environment for them.

Curator: Irine Abesadze

The exhibition is organized by the Children’s International Fund.
