A great small but informative museum is the Kutaisi Historical Museum and we visited it last week when in the city. It will take you about 1-2hours depending how fast you read and what interests you but the displays are wonderful, the price is very affordable and the collection gives you a good sense of the history of the area and the people who live(d) here.

If you are into archaeology and history you should visit this place. You will see here hundreds of artefacts from ancient time, including Colchis period to Middle ages and later times. In other cases you might feel a bit disappointed with gloomy interiors and lack of descriptions in English.

Better than expected as most exhibits have information in both Georgian and English. The artifacts are good to see and clearly care has been taken to make a proper presentation. For me the highlights were the small images from the first millemium BC (most of them animals). In enlarged form they can also be seen in Colchis fountain. I also liked the pieces of hammering art (gold and silver) from the 12th/13th centuries. Last but not least, the 19th century interior of a Georgian house is well done and good to observe.
I missed a more comprehensive overview of Kutaisi's history as part of Georgia during its heydays around 1100 and the subsequent periods of invasions and occupation. For an outsider it is quite complicated to understand the status of the different kingdoms and vassal states. A pity the 20th century is missing altogether.
Entrance fee: 3 Lari

If you are unable to find a fascinating object in this museum I suggest you don't bother to visit a museum. This is a brilliant small museum filled with fascinating artefacts ranging from ancient musical instruments to a vast wine press. Everything is labelled and there a number of really quirky items which you are unlikely to find anywhere else.
Well worth the visit and certainly the best museum we saw outside Tbilisi.

This museum is apparently in a temporary location while the main site is being refurbished, but it looks like it's taking a while! The displays are very old-school with limited information, but the 10th-16th century icons, some from nearby Galeti Monastery, are well-worth the admission price on their own

The door was secured with a chain when we got there - I'm not sure the museum gets flooded with visitors ! It's worth the trip though as the wide ranging exhibits are fascinating and displayed in an endearingly old fashioned way, with paper labels in dusty cases.

This is a rather small museum that showcases a collection of photos and different objects but it has literally no background information to accompany them, so you can take a look at different items but you will not really have a chance to learn more about them. There is also literally nothing about the 20th century (which is the period we were most interested in), so it left us quite disappointed. The most interesting thing about this museum was a temporary exhibition on the Katyn massacre which, contrary to the museum, actually provided some insight into the topic covered.
