Tbilisi’s New Exhibition Unveils the Mystique of Theatrical Masks
A new exhibition celebrating Georgian Theater Day has opened at the Art Palace in Tbilisi. Located at 6 Kargareteli Street, the display explores the role of masks in theatrical, ritual, and carnival traditions. Visitors can experience the cultural significance of these objects until the end of February.
The exhibition brings together masks from different eras and civilisations. Each piece highlights how masks have served religious, social, and symbolic purposes across cultures. The works on show reveal their use in expressing identity, transformation, and performance.
The collection includes theatrical, religious, and carnival masks. By uniting these diverse traditions, the display connects Georgian heritage with broader artistic practices. The event coincides with Georgian Theater Day, offering a deeper look at the art form’s history. The Art Palace has arranged the exhibition to remain accessible throughout February. No specific organisers or artists have been publicly named for this project.
The exhibition will close at the end of the month. Until then, visitors can examine how masks have shaped theatrical and cultural expressions worldwide. The Art Palace continues to host the display at its central Tbilisi location.
