Is the name of the museum correctly written or should the article be removed? Another name of the museum is "Adjara Museum of Art(s)."

"The Adjara Art Museum".
 
What is it called in its own literature?

Adjara Museum of Art(s) is a word for word translation of its Georgian name.

Then that's what I'd call it. I looked at the official website and then asked Google to translate the name into English. It comes up as "LEPL 'Museum of Adjara'". It's interesting that the word "art" does not appear in that translation.

No, "Museum of Adjara" is not the correct translation. Google is not right. I think the word "art" should be included. I was wondering if the title I wrote was grammatically correct: "The Adjara Art Museum". I noticed sometimes they write "art" and sometimes "arts".

Though there many branches of art, the museums are usually called the Museum of Art or Art Museum the world over. However, there is a Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco.

Does the Georgian language have definite and indefinite articles?

Are 'art' and 'arts' the same word in Georgian?

It doesn't. With the removed article it's still a word for word translation. :)
