A museum showing finds from the ancient Kingdom of Colchis and the ancient city of Pichvnari, including gold jewelry, pottery, and Greek amphorae.
The Batumi Archaeological Museum displays archaeological discoveries from the Adjara region, from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages. Its focus is the ancient Colchian culture and the artifacts from the ancient city of Pichvnari, including Greek colonial-period amphorae, gold and silver jewelry, coins, and grave goods. These help explain the history behind the legend of the Golden Fleece. The museum is small and can be seen in about an hour. It is closed on Mondays, charges a small admission fee, and is located on Chavchavadze Street.
