Dikyamaç Museum
About This Museum
People find their way to the Dikyamaç Museum for a genuine, unfiltered look into the soul of the Black Sea region. It's not a grand, imposing institution but feels more like stepping into a carefully preserved community treasure chest. You'll wander through rooms that tell the story of local life, from the intricate patterns of traditional textiles to tools used by generations of farmers and fishermen. The warmth and pride of the place are as memorable as the artifacts themselves.
Collection Highlights
Look for the stunning collection of hand-woven Arhavi kilims, their vibrant colors still bold, and a fascinating array of copper kitchenware that was essential to daily life. One of the most poignant exhibits is a recreated traditional Black Sea home interior, complete with its distinctive wooden architecture.
Visitor Information
It's located on an unnamed road in the village, so it's best to ask a local for directions—they'll be happy to point you the right way. The small staff is incredibly knowledgeable and often shares personal stories connected to the items on display.
Architecture & Building
The museum is housed in a charming building that reflects the local vernacular style, often featuring dark timber and stone construction that seems to grow right out of the lush green landscape.
