The Georgian Wine Museum, which has  no precedent in the world, will be given the status of a National Museum. Director of the National Wine Agency  Levan Davitashvili  told commersant.ge.

According to him, there is no country where the wine museum has a status of the National Museum and  such institutions are established with private capital. For example, in Spain there are up to  60 museums  and all of them are privately owned.

In addition, a complexity will be a feature of the Georgian museum. 

"There are not a lot of similar museums in the world. The archaeological material of the Georgian wine industry will be displayed in the museum. In addition, visitors will be able to familiarize with modern technologies of  wine production as well, "- Davitashvili says. 
 

In his words, currently work on the statutes of the Museum is underway   which must be adopted bythe government.

The Museum project will be prepared in the spring of next year. Consequently, neither  the  amount of funding nor the date of opening  are specified. 

The Museum, called  "very ambitious project" by Davitashvli, will be built on the Turtle Lake area, near the  Ethnographic Museum.
