Dadiani Museum

The castle-like palace of the Dadiani family (old lords of Samegrelo) is now a museum set in beautifully maintained grounds. As well as interesting 19th-century paintings of the Caucasus and a fine collection of icons and crosses from the 10th to 20th centuries (in the Treasury section, which can only be visited on a guided tour), it contains one of Napoleon’s four bronze death masks, acquired through marriage between Princess Salome Dadiani and Achille Murat, Napoleon's nephew.
