Students of the Apolon Kutateladze Academy of Arts and young artists have come together around Galaktion Tabidze’s poem “Pirimze” from his second collection (“Crâne Aux Fleurs Artistiques” / “Skull with Artistic Flowers”) to present visual variations across different fields of visual art.
Visitors will have the opportunity to create their own visual interpretations of the poet’s work and the exhibits displayed in the museum space.
The Galaktion Tabidze Memorial Museum (1891–1959) is located in the house where the poet spent the final years of his life (1935–1959). His study and living environment have been preserved almost unchanged.
As a result of recent rehabilitation and renovation works, the museum now fully maintains both its memorial character and meets the needs of a modern museum. The exhibition spaces have been designed according to contemporary museographic standards.
The displays chronologically narrate the life and biography of Galaktion Tabidze. In addition to memorial items, the museum preserves photographs, manuscripts, and other documents that serve as a kind of chronicle of the poet’s life.
