- Promote Georgian art and culture through Gabriadze’s visionary perspective.

- Inspire future generations, fostering a deep appreciation for the arts.
- Establish the museum as a cultural landmark in Tbilisi, a must-visit destination for locals and international visitors alike.

The 2nd floor will host rotating exhibitions, updated annually to explore different themes in Gabriadze’s work, incorporating multimedia elements for an interactive experience.
