The 19th century Cavalry venue in Georgia’s central-western Borjomi resort town, a cultural heritage monument known for its historical role as a summer residence for the Imperial Russian nobility, has been renovated and transformed into a museum.
Its renovation comes as part of a GEL 2.8 million (0.95mln/€0.94mln) project started in 2019, the Ministry of Infrastructure announced on Tuesday, with exhibition halls, conference and educational spaces, café, library, video and audio centre set up and adapted for the museum role.
Located in Borjomi's Kostava Park, it will now house a part of a rich collection of Borjomi Local History Museum. Built in 1880, the gothic-style Cavalry venue used to host the royal family of Emperor Nicholas II.
Rehabilitation works will now continue in the adjacent Merab Kostava Park, where children's spaces, an amphitheatre, fountain, footpaths and other necessary infrastructure are planned to be set up.
