The Abkhaz State Museum, which opened in the early XX century, is called one of the pearls of the culture of the region: its collections tell about local history, history and folk crafts, rare objects and important archival materials are found in the expositions. In the vicinity of the city, there are also small private and municipal collections, where you can see local artifacts and rare ethnographic samples that complement the overall picture of the region.
