Dating from the 1850s, the building that houses the Tbilisi State Academy of Art is one of the most outstanding heritage sites in Tbilisi. Defined by an eclectic mix of European and oriental architectural and artistic styles, this landmark building is best known for its so-called Mirror Halls, the sumptuous adornments of which, executed by Qajar artists invited from Iran, are reminiscent of the decorations of oriental palaces.[1]
