International Conferences
at the Georgian National Museum
Conferences > Natia Likokeli
The Georgian National Museum is an academic research institution working in many areas, some of which are
reflected by conferences to inform academia and other interested persons on research results and to establish
new contacts within the country and abroad.
In 2014, the Georgian National Museum hosted four international conferences. One was dedicated to the British archaeologist, Michael Vickers. Others were entitled On Top of
History Site Museums; World Heritage and Sustainable Development; and Problems of Early Metal Age Archaeology of
the Caucasus and Anatolia.
The special role of site museums for the protection of cultural heritage includes aspects of their renovation, for example
the suitability of contemporary architecture and infrastructure and how it can be integrated into these local museums.
Other subjects included how services for visitors can be improved, as well as the development and the economic sustainability of these museums.
Around 50 foreign and Georgian specialists took part in the
conference. They visited the Georgian National Museum's
Ivane Javakhishvili Samtskhe-Javakheti Museum and the
Dmanisi Archaeological Site Museum, where they attended
a presentation on the archaeological site given by Georgian
National Museum General Director, David Lordkipanidze.
This event was organized by ICOM/ICAMT and the ICOM National Committee in Georgia with support from the Ministry
of Culture and Monument Protection of Georgia, the Georgian National Museum, and the National Agency for Cultural
Heritage Preservation of Georgia.
