The collection of late Antique ceramics, bronze and much more is of fantastic quality and representativeness.
Perhaps the most thoughtful art and historical museum in the country.
If you are not archaeologists or art historians, it is better to book a tour in Russian or English or join it.
There is a good selection of merch, books and albums in the museum shop - we liked it more than in the large collections in Tbilisi.
The museum is definitely worth a separate trip from Kutaisi, at least.
