Ushguli/Place
A small local museum displaying archaeological and cultural objects connected with the history of Upper Svaneti.
About this place
The Ushguli Archaeological Museum presents objects connected with the history, religion and daily life of the local Svan population. Its collection helps visitors understand the community beyond its towers and mountain scenery.
As a small regional institution, opening hours may be seasonal or arranged locally. Visitors should confirm access in advance, particularly outside the main summer tourism period. The museum can easily be combined with a walking tour of Chazhashi.
