A very small exhibition from the time of the Noble brothers' stay in Tbilisi during the period of their oil production in Baku and its transportation to the coast for loading on ships.It is interesting that it was in this building that the office of the Nobles was located. The exhibition includes printing presses, test tubes with different oil fractions, photographs of tankers, etc. It's funny that among the exhibits are documents /protocols of the city council in Russian, and the plaques for the exhibits are in Georgian. The children are interested in an old large camera on a tripod, the one from which "look, a bird is about to fly out":)

It is a significant place for the city, because it was here that the brothers Robert and Ludwig Nobel worked and rested.Thanks to them, Batumi has become a rapidly developing city not only in the Caucasus, but also a center for the introduction of advanced technological ideas in the country.A cultural and leisure destination for the whole world.The first oil refineries and a pipeline, a railway.A 100-year-old Shell canister. Color photos of Prokudin-Gorsky. The brothers became city - forming 😎 And even if there are not so many exhibits of that time, there are enough of them to plunge into and feel the drive of engineering thought. It is mandatory to conduct a guided tour, which, in addition to the theme of the museum, tells about its city and its inhabitants with special love. Nino 😍 Didi Madloba (thanks a lot) !!

If you are in Batumi, then this is a must-visit place. You will see and learn a lot that is not found anywhere else. Immerse yourself in more than a century of history, starting with the dramatic life of the Nobel brothers and their famous associates, the history of color photography, ending with the work of the modern great Georgian and leading scientist of Soviet cosmonautics Elguzh Medzmariashvili, who was the chief scientist of transfor-mating spacecraft and much more. For more than 100 years, members of the Nobel brothers' brilliant family lived in this building. In Soviet times, it was communistically confiscated. And under Saakashvili and with his direct hard work, the truth was restored and the building turned into the house museum of the Nobel brothers.

I really liked the guide, he knows a lot of interesting things about his city, told me historical data, not only about the museum's expositions. The museum is not big, but I learned new facts from the history of Batumi for myself.

The museum is small, the exposition is modest, I especially wanted more from the first floor, dedicated to the Nobels themselves. On the second one there are very interesting copies of documents, pre-revolutionary advertising materials, posters, etc. The building itself is interesting, and its significance as belonging to the brothers is important. The hospitality of the museum employee was especially pleasant, who, at her request, briefly told about the exhibits and the main facts from the history of the oil business in Batumi. Pleasant impressions, although there is room for growth.

We drove on purpose, but they have a 3-hour break and not a word about it anywhere. In general, the typical Georgian approach is to work whenever we want, and don't care about anyone. And the other Nobel Museum is only open 2 days a week. It's really disrespectful to the people to whom Batumi owes virtually everything. The Ivans who don't remember their relationship

We visited the Nobel Brothers Museum in Batumi and were absolutely delighted! This is an amazing place where the history of the oil empire is presented to visitors in all its grandeur. I would like to express my special gratitude to our guide Nino. Her professionalism and passion for the subject are simply admirable! Thanks to her detailed and interesting stories, we were able to immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of that time and learn many fascinating facts about the activities of the Nobel brothers in Batumi. Nino was able to make even the most complex historical details understandable and fascinating. The museum impresses with its exposition — vintage photographs, documents, household items and, of course, unique exhibits related to the oil industry. Every detail here tells a story, and the interactive elements make the visit even more exciting. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in the history of the oil industry and wants to learn more about the development of Batumi. This place is definitely worth a visit, especially if your guide is such a wonderful specialist as Nino! Thank you for the unforgettable experience and new knowledge!

It turned out to be an interesting place - the story of the Nobel brothers is simply amazing. The uncles had a major impact on the region, raising the entire chain of production of petroleum products - from production to delivery to the end user. And, suddenly, Georgian tea was actually created by a young Chinese agronomist invited to Batumi. The museum is still young, it was restored on the initiative of Mikhail Saakashvili. Inside there are interesting artifacts, a collection of cameras, color photographs from a hundred years ago (yes, I was not mistaken) and all sorts of interesting things. It was interesting, thanks to the guide.

A modest exhibition dedicated to Lau John Jau, or as he was called Ivan Ivanovich Liu, a man who devoted 33 years of his life to tea cultivation in Georgia. Not far from the museum, his house is currently being restored, in which it is planned to create a tea museum.

To be honest, I expected more. A small exhibition dedicated to the Nobel brothers, the people thanks to whom Batumi became a city from a village. You need to give a lot more, not the first floor.The topic is not disclosed. The toilet is not working.

Medium. The museum is a tribute to those who gave Batumi development, but it is not worth going on purpose if you are far away.
