Tbilisi Auto Museum

Tbilisi Auto Museum was based on a private collection. At first, the museum’s exposition included 25 cars, since then the number of exhibits has been constantly increasing. After restoration, two unique exhibits were added to the museum’s collection: GAZ-M1 (also known as Emka) and the GAZ-4 pickup truck – about five such cars have survived around the world today.

In the museum, you will see a black GAZ-M1, a make and model which was widely used by the KGB in the 1930s. This particular car served Lavrentiy Beria, Marshal of the Soviet Union.

Most of the cars and motorcycles featured were produced in the USSR and belonged to influential people. For example 1978 Gaz-14 Chaika which belonged to Georgia’s second president Eduard Shevardnadze (1995-2003). Other automobiles on display were owned by high-ranking Soviet officials.
