Why go
Housed in a historic 19th-century building once linked to the development of Borjomi’s renowned mineral water resort, the Borjomi History Museum traces the town’s transformation from a secluded valley to a famed spa destination under the Russian Empire and beyond. It explores the cultural, economic, and environmental impact of the Borjomi mineral water industry, which began bottling in the 1890s with support from the Grand Duke Mikhail Romanov. The museum offers rare photographs, archival documents, and original equipment, revealing how this natural resource shaped regional identity. It’s essential for understanding Georgia’s spa heritage and the legacy of its most exported drink.
