Holoseum Tbilisi

Holoseum Tbilisi is an immersive audiovisual museum located on Betlemi Street in the historic Old Town. Instead of displaying paintings inside traditional frames, the museum uses large-scale projections, animation, light and music to surround visitors with moving images.

The experience is designed to feel more like stepping inside a digital artwork than walking through a conventional gallery. It is particularly suitable for visitors interested in visual art, new technology, photography and unusual indoor attractions in Tbilisi.

What Is Holoseum?

Holoseum is one of Tbilisi’s best-known digital exhibition spaces. Approximately 125 projectors are installed across an area of around 750 square metres, transforming walls and rooms into animated visual environments.

The museum has hosted exhibitions inspired by Georgian artists, international painters and different periods of art history. Because the programme may change, the exact content visitors see depends on the exhibition running at the time of their visit.

Unlike a traditional art museum, Holoseum focuses on atmosphere and visual immersion rather than original paintings or historical objects. Music, moving projections and digital effects are combined to create a multisensory experience.

Van Gogh Alive: Art Meets AI

At the time of this 2026 update, Holoseum is presenting an immersive exhibition inspired by Vincent van Gogh.

The exhibition uses digital projections, animation and artificial-intelligence-assisted visual effects to bring Van Gogh’s colours and familiar paintings to life. Images move across the walls and floors, allowing visitors to experience the artwork from inside the projected environment.

This is not an exhibition of Van Gogh’s original paintings. It is a contemporary digital interpretation created for entertainment, visual immersion and photography.

Exhibitions and promotional programmes can change, so check the official Holoseum Facebook page or the official ticket platform before visiting.

What to Expect During Your Visit

A visit to Holoseum is primarily a visual and atmospheric experience. Visitors can expect:

• large-scale projections covering walls and other surfaces;
• animated interpretations of famous artworks;
• music and synchronised lighting;
• dark exhibition rooms;
• colourful spaces suitable for photographs and short videos;
• an experience that can be enjoyed without detailed knowledge of art history.

Most visitors should allow approximately 45–60 minutes, although the exact visit time depends on the current exhibition and how long they spend taking photographs.

The rooms may contain bright moving images, changing lights and relatively loud music. Visitors who are sensitive to flashing lights, darkness or strong sound effects should contact the museum before visiting.

Is Holoseum Suitable for Children?

Holoseum can be an entertaining indoor attraction for families, especially for children who enjoy colours, moving images, music and interactive-looking digital environments.

However, this is not a children’s play centre. The experience takes place mainly in dark rooms with projected images and sound. Young children should remain under adult supervision throughout the visit.

If a child is sensitive to darkness, loud music or rapidly moving light effects, ask the museum about the current exhibition before purchasing tickets.

Photography at Holoseum

The colourful projected rooms make Holoseum a popular place for photography and social-media content.

For better photographs:

• wear light or neutral-coloured clothing so the projections remain visible;
• avoid using flash, as it can overpower the projected images;
• wait for brighter parts of the visual sequence;
• use your phone’s night mode if the room is particularly dark;
• keep pathways clear for other visitors.

Photography rules may vary between exhibitions, so always follow the instructions provided by museum staff.

How to Get to Holoseum Tbilisi

Holoseum is located at 10 Betlemi Street in Old Tbilisi. The museum is within walking distance of Freedom Square, Meidan Square, the Sulfur Baths and several other attractions in the historic centre.

From Freedom Square

The walk from Freedom Square normally takes around 15 minutes. Continue through the Old Town towards Kote Abkhazi Street and then turn uphill towards Betlemi Street.

The final section includes an uphill street, and some surfaces in the historic neighbourhood may be uneven.

By Metro

Liberty Square is the most convenient metro station for most visitors. From the station, continue on foot through the Old Town.

Avlabari Metro Station is another option, although it requires crossing the river and walking through the Meidan area.

By Taxi

Enter “Holoseum” or “10 Betlemi Street” as your destination in the taxi application. Betlemi Street is narrow and situated on a slope, so the driver may stop a short distance from the entrance.

See the guide to online taxi apps in Georgia before ordering a ride.

Accessibility

Betlemi Street is located on a hillside and the surrounding Old Tbilisi neighbourhood contains slopes, narrow pavements and uneven surfaces.

Detailed accessibility information for the interior of Holoseum is not consistently published. Visitors using a wheelchair or travelling with limited mobility should contact the museum in advance to confirm step-free entrance, lift access and assistance inside the exhibition area.

Combine Holoseum with an Old Tbilisi Walking Tour

Holoseum can easily be combined with the Old Tbilisi Free Tour operated by Tbilisi Free Walking Tours.

The tour begins at Freedom Square and explores historic streets, traditional courtyards, the Clock Tower, the Bridge of Peace, Metekhi and the Abanotubani Sulfur Baths district.

Holoseum is not a stop on the walking tour. However, because the tour finishes near the Sulfur Baths, visitors can continue independently towards Betlemi Street and visit the museum afterwards.

This combination provides two very different experiences: the walking tour introduces the real history, architecture and everyday character of Old Tbilisi, while Holoseum offers a modern digital interpretation of art inside an immersive indoor space.

What to See Near Holoseum

Holoseum is located in one of the best areas of Tbilisi for sightseeing. Several attractions can be reached on foot.

Museum of Illusions Tbilisi

The Museum of Illusions Tbilisi is located at the same Betlemi Street address, making it the easiest attraction to combine with Holoseum.

The two museums offer different experiences: Holoseum focuses on large-scale digital projections, while the Museum of Illusions uses optical illusions, perspective rooms and visual puzzles.

Mother of Georgia

The uphill route through the Betlemi neighbourhood leads towards the Mother of Georgia monument and panoramic viewpoints above Old Tbilisi.

The climb is steep in places, but the area provides excellent views across the historic centre.

Tbilisi Sulfur Baths

The historic Tbilisi Sulfur Baths are located downhill in the Abanotubani district. Visitors can walk between the bath district and Holoseum through the narrow streets of Old Tbilisi.

Tbilisi Botanical Garden

The Tbilisi Botanical Garden is located behind Narikala Hill and can be reached from the lower entrance near Abanotubani or from the upper area near the Mother of Georgia.

Rike–Narikala Cable Car

The Tbilisi Cable Car connects Rike Park with Narikala Hill. Visitors can take the cable car uphill, walk towards the Mother of Georgia and then descend through the Betlemi neighbourhood towards Holoseum.

Is Holoseum Worth Visiting?

Holoseum is worth considering if you enjoy immersive digital art, colourful visual effects or unusual indoor attractions.

It is also a useful option during rainy weather or on a very hot afternoon when outdoor sightseeing becomes uncomfortable. Families, couples, photographers and visitors looking for social-media-friendly locations may find it particularly enjoyable.

Travellers expecting original paintings, historical artefacts or a traditional art museum should understand that Holoseum offers a digital entertainment experience instead.

Practical Tips

• Confirm the current exhibition before buying a ticket.
• Check prices and opening hours on the day of your visit.

• Avoid using flash when taking photographs.
• Wear comfortable shoes if walking through the hilly Betlemi neighbourhood.
• Combine the visit with the Museum of Illusions, the Sulfur Baths or the Mother of Georgia.
• Contact the museum in advance if accessibility or sensitivity to light and sound is a concern.
