Caucasian Museum on Golovin Avenue – Tiflis (Tbilisi), 1870
The Caucasian Museum on Golovin Avenue in Tiflis, designed by architect A. Zaltsman, photographed in 1870 by Dmitri Ermakov.
The Caucasian Museum on Golovin Avenue (now Rustaveli Avenue) in Tiflis (Tbilisi), photographed in 1870 by pioneering Caucasus photographer Dmitri Ermakov, documents one of the most important cultural institutions of Imperial-era Georgia.
Designed by architect A. Zaltsman, the museum building exemplifies 19th-century neoclassical architecture in the Russian Empire’s Caucasus Viceroyalty. This historical photograph provides valuable visual evidence of early urban development in Tsarist Tiflis and contributes to the study of Georgian architectural heritage and museum history.
