Stalin Museum

Located in the town of Gori, the Joseph Stalin Museum offers a fascinating and sometimes controversial look into the life of one of history’s most powerful and polarizing figures. Born in Gori in 1878, Stalin’s story begins here—and the museum traces his rise from humble beginnings to the leader of the Soviet Union. The museum complex includes Stalin’s original childhood house, carefully preserved under a stone canopy, as well as the main exhibition building, filled with personal items, photographs, documents, and even Stalin’s private railway carriage, which he used during World War II. Visitors will learn about Stalin’s early years, political career, and the legacy he left behind. Whether you're interested in Soviet history or curious about Georgia’s past, the Stalin Museum provides a unique and thought-provoking experience.
