On December 11, at 7:00 PM, the presentation of the book "Georgian Headscarf" will be held at the Palace of Arts with the support of the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of Georgia.

The encyclopedic work includes the collections of both the Palace of Arts and the Museum of Folk and Applied Arts of the same palace, includes more than 500 high-quality illustrations and tells us about the history of Georgian clothing from the early Middle Ages to the 19th century.

The exposition will combine fabrics restored by Tinatin Kldiashvili and Ekaterine Geguchadze according to historical frescoes and the unique Georgian ritual crown, which was returned to its original appearance with the support of the Bank of Georgia.
