Fine Arts is considered, with good reason, one of the richest in the world, listing among its exhibits some rare examples of this complex and refined form of art. The wealth and variety of the collection is all the more amazing if one considers all the enamels previously kept in Georgia and subsequently lost and destroyed or dispersed to different museums (the Hermitage, the Cluny museum, the Metropolitan Museum, the National Museum in Berlin, etc) and private collections throughout the world.

The number and the wide range of chronology of the enamelwork and the high artistic standard of most exhibits account for the singular value of the Georgian collection which can be can very well rival the famous collection of enamelwork in Venice. Medieval enamel works are divided into two categories: Georgian and Byzantine. Both groups show different stages of development of medieval enamel works.
