Kutaisi State Historical Museum | A must-visit museum in the small town of Kutaisi.
When traveling to a city, if you have time, you must visit the local museum 🏛️ to learn about the local history and culture. In Georgia, we had a short stopover in Kutaisi and made a special trip to their history museum.
