The Kobuleti Museum of Local Lore is a small but very cozy place. It looks modest from the outside, but inside it looks like a portal opens in time. It contains items that once belonged to people who lived on this earth thousands of years ago: antique ceramics, jewelry, tools, rare coins. There is a hall dedicated to the life of Kobuletians of the XIX–XX century — wooden furniture, embroidered fabrics, dishes, photographs of families, as if forgotten, but still alive. The museum opened in the middle of the last century, and since then it has been gradually replenished with archaeological finds from the surrounding area. Now the collection has several thousand items, and each of them seems to carry a breath of time. The ancient amphorae found on the coast and the bronze ornaments are particularly impressive, simple but very elegant. The entrance costs very little — about three to five lari, and if you want, you can take a guided tour for a small surcharge. The staff here are sincere, it's clear that they care: they talk with warmth, with pride for their city. I spent a little over an hour there, but I came out with the feeling that I really got to know Kobuleti - not as a resort, but as a place with history, roots, and memory. Such a museum is not about "greatness", but about humanity — and this makes it especially valuable.

I like to go to museums, but I didn't see anything special for myself here, the photos that I added are basically everything that I photographed... The main hall, which you enter first, was probably the most interesting, you can see all sorts of little things like jewelry, household items of the most ancient.. The second hall below consists of carpets, pots, stucco and everyday life, the third floor is a modern history with portraits, posters and books... and everything... And it costs 5 lari, well, if there's nothing to do at all, then it'll do for a change. A woman at the exit offered guided tours)

The museum is good, with interesting exhibits on 3 floors, ranging from BC to the Soviet period. The life of people who lived in the 18th and 19th centuries is clearly and interestingly shown. But they took the tour in vain, they only spoiled their impression. The deputy director, Madona, ran through the 3rd floors for 20 minutes (apparently in a hurry), rattling off the facts that were already on the signs. Not a single interesting story was told, which you usually expect from guides. Her Russian language leaves much to be desired, so at this speed it took a lot of effort to make sense. Sometimes it didn't work out at all. But she repeated 5 times that they work with the same enthusiasm, and on the 5th minute of the tour she began to advertise the "best" excursion from their museum for 10 hours for 350 GEL. When we said that it would be difficult for us to have a child for 10 hours, she seemed to have lost interest in us. It was the most terrifying tour of my life. It is a very strong contrast to the individual tours that we took in small Yerevan museums, where the staff spoke with such love and pride about their country and famous compatriots.
