The exhibition displays his works from a refreshing context, spread ithroughout two halls of the museum on the ground floor, with the majority of the works oil paintings. 

The first gallery will expose one of his most famous works “The General,” from 1988, which is known as one of the largest paintings he created. Also on show are other romantic–heroic portraits by the artist, while the second gallery is to expose Kacharava’s works together with three young Georgian artists; Nino Kvrivishvili, Levan Chelidze and Giorgi Khaniashvili, alongside documentary photographs taken by Guram Tsibakhashvili.
