- Exhibition in Vani Supported by TBC
With the backing of TBC and the Italian Embassy, the Archaeological Museum of Vani is proud to host the exhibition “The World of the Etruscans: Treasures from the Museums of Chios, Chianciano, and Florence.”
Originally showcased at the Simon Janashia Museum in Tbilisi, this exhibition now graces the halls of the Archaeological Museum of Van, named after Otar Lortkipanidze. Visitors have the unique opportunity to delve into the enigmatic world of the Etruscans, a highly advanced civilization that thrived in Italy before the rise of Rome. The exhibition offers insights into Etruscan life, beliefs, customs, traditions, and artistry through their writings and depictions of people.
The collection features a diverse array of artifacts, including sculptures, bucchero and bronze vessels, ceramics, and gold objects. Highlights include the iconic canopic jars, used for storing ashes, and other unique items that showcase the rich diversity of Etruscan culture. Among the notable exhibits are two items linked to Colchis: a clay bowl dated to 400-380 BC and a bronze mirror from 300-275 BC, illustrating the myth of the Argonauts.
The exhibition in Georgia is a collaborative effort supported by TBC and the Italian Embassy, alongside the regional department of the Museums of Tuscany, Glocal Project Consulting, and the National Museum of Georgia.
TBC is a prominent supporter of cultural and educational initiatives across the country. Their aim is to promote cultural institutions and artistic endeavors consistently and sustainably. This remarkable exhibition, which debuted at the Simon Janashia Museum in Tbilisi, will be available for viewing at the Archaeological Museum of Vani until the end of August, thanks to TBC’s ongoing support.
