Why go
The Svaneti Museum of History and Ethnography gathers archaeological finds, religious art, manuscripts and objects of daily life. It is a useful counterpoint to walking among the towers: the displays give the region's craft and history a close-up scale.
Choose the galleries that hold your interest instead of rushing through the whole collection. A museum afternoon can also make a changeable-weather day worthwhile, but check which rooms are open before relying on a particular object or exhibition.
Before you go
Check the museum's current hours, admission and any photography restrictions. The pictured object was photographed in the museum; displays can change.
Allow extra time
Visit times are estimates for this activity only. Travel, queues and breaks are extra.
