The Museum is located on Rustaveli Avenue, Tbilisi's main thoroughfare, and is administered as a part of the Georgian National Museum.
The Museum of the Soviet Occupation is a permanent exhibition displaying archive documents, photo and video materials following the timeline of Georgia's history from the short-lived independence between 1918 and 1921 to the Soviet army crackdown on the pro-independence rally in 1989 and the declaration of Georgia's independence in 1991.
