Description

Address: 7 Ivane Javakhishvili Street, Tbilisi, 0105

Opening Days: Daily, except Tuesdays

Opening Hours: 10:00 AM–6:00 PM

According to a decree issued on December 30, 1982, part of the building located at 7 Kalinin Street in the Oktyabrsky District (now 7 Ivane Javakhishvili Street), and later the entire building, was transferred to the Ilia Chavchavadze House Museum in Tbilisi.

The original house museum was established under a resolution of the Georgian Council of Ministers dated August 3, 1957, and officially opened on October 22, 1957.

The present museum was ceremonially inaugurated on October 27, 1987, to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the writer's birth. The opening ceremony was attended by Georgian delegations and guests from other republics of the Soviet Union.

In 1988, following a decree of the Georgian Council of Ministers, the institution was officially named the Ilia Chavchavadze Literary Memorial Museum of Tbilisi.

From 1888 to 1901, Ilia Chavchavadze lived and worked with his wife, Olga Guramishvili, in the house of his sister, Elisabed Chavchavadze-Saginashvili, located at 7 Ivane Javakhishvili Street in Tbilisi.

This house is closely associated with some of the most active years of Chavchavadze's public, political, and literary life.

It also housed the editorial office and printing press of the newspaper Iveria and served as the venue for Ilia's traditional Thursday gatherings.

Numerous important national, state-building, and cultural initiatives originated within these walls.

Museum Collections

The museum preserves a wide range of materials related to the life and work of Ilia Chavchavadze (1837–1907), the prominent Georgian thinker, writer, publicist, and public and political figure.

Its collections include personal memorabilia, private archives, academic research, monographs, articles, photographs, works of fine art, and other historical materials.
