The house museum in Bodbiskhevi keeps the setting of a village house and the things gathered within the family: dishes, textiles, tools, photographs. Collections like this tell the story of a Kakhetian village more precisely than big museums, because they show what survived rather than what was selected. The format is intimate, suited to small groups.
The house stands in Bodbiskhevi, a village in the Sighnaghi municipality, on the plain south of the Alazani. Around it are fields, vineyards and the road between Sighnaghi and Dedoplistskaro. The village is quiet and the tourist flow passes it by.
The house is small and half an hour is enough. The first half of the day is the easier time, and it is better to arrange the visit through the village in advance. Combine the trip with Sighnaghi and the Bodbe monastery.
Tips
- Combine the visit with Sighnaghi and the Bodbe monastery nearby
- Ask in the village if the door is locked, the key is usually close
- Come in the morning, village houses are more often closed later in the day
How to get there
- South from Sighnaghi along the road, about twenty minutes by car
- Roughly two hours from Tbilisi via Sagarejo and Tsnori
