The Ozurgeti History Museum is a historical-ethnographic museum and the biggest museum in the Guria region. The museum was founded in 1936. During Soviet times it was located in the Gurieli Palace.
Today, it has its own building hosting collections from the Neolithic Age. Visitors can see unique examples of Early, Middle and Late Bronze Age Colkhian culture, burial ground stocks from the Iron age, ancient silver and gold items from Europe, Turkey, and Alexander the Great, and important historical books. There are over 6000 exhibits dating as far back as the 9th millennium BC.
Just off the main road from Batumi to Kutaisi, the museum makes an interesting stop off when travelling between the two cities. Entrance is free.
