Here is the English-language version of their website:
One of the most attractive places of the world Georgia is situated in the Caucasus, between the Black and the Caspian seas.
Georgia is an anciant country with its great culture and history, this is the country which adopted Christianity in 337.
The Shida Kartli region is considered as a centre of Georgia. The oldest city Gori which is in the valley of the river Mtkvari is the centre of Shida Kartli. Exactly in this very city there is a State Museum of an outstanding person J.Stalin, where unique exhibits are collected: memorial things, presents, canvases, photo-film documents etc. Here is kept unique historical stuff connected with that epoch, in which J.Stalin lived and did his social work.
Memorial house, the two-storey exhibition building with a tower and J.Stalin`s personal carriage are in the staff of the complex of J.Stalin`s State Museum.
