The Ethnographic Museum is a must-visit for anyone interested in Georgian culture. The tickets are very affordable, and by purchasing souvenirs made by the museum's owner, you can support the museum's operations. The owner has done an amazing job with the museum, creating a collection of handcrafted items that showcase Georgian culture. The museum features artifacts that are over two hundred years old, as well as sculptures that tell the history of Georgia. It took forty years to build the museum, and there is even an English translator who can provide a detailed explanation of everything for forty minutes. The entrance fee is 15 lari, and it is definitely worth the price. The museum offers an immersive experience, with exhibits that display different aspects of historical Georgian lifestyle. The tour guides, like Teo, are fantastic and make the tour fun, interactive, and informative. The owner, Mr. Kemal, is a wood crafter artist and has created a wonderful museum with artificial mini symbols of Batumi. Overall, this museum is a must-visit location that provides insight into Georgian traditions and the way of living. It is highly recommended and offers a unique experience that shouldn't be missed.
