N
ational Agency for cultural heritage preservation of Georgia
continues series of publications titled – `Museum, History,
Artifact~, which along with museums and museum-reserves
of the agency, introduces their history and related exhibits. The first
collected articles of the above mentioned series – `Gremi Museum~ was published in 2014. The present publication is dedicated to Niko
Pirosmanashvili state museum and its collections.
Niko Pirosmanashvili house-museum was founded in 1960, village
Mirzaani (grand opening took place later, on May 5, 1963). It is quite
symbolic, that the first exhibit of the memorial museum was the painting
`Threshing Floor at Dusk~ (Cat. #1). The painting was presented to the
newly founded museum by Association of Writers of Soviet Socialist
Republic of Georgia. In the same period Signagi local history museum
contributed paintings – `Fruit Stall~, `She-bear with Cubs~ and `Sona
playing a Concertina~ to the collection; in 1967 it received a signboard
`Tsarapi~ from Gurjaani local history museum. That was the beginning of
creation of Niko Pirosmanashvili state museum collection and its further
development on a whole.
Presently, after some 50 years since foundation of the museum, Niko
Pirosmanashvili state museum is a museum complex; it comprises a

group of museums, located in Tbilisi and Dedoplistskaro municipality: in
village Mirzaani – a memorial house, which was built in 1898 by Niko
Pirosmanashvili for her sister – Pepe. At that time this house, constructed
with stone and lime solution, was the only building in the village, roofed
with tin. This is the very building where Niko Pirosmanashvili house museum was opened (it was rennovated in 2012) and where the first
pieces of the collection were exhibited. The complex also comprises
exhibition hall (architect G. Bakradze, 1979), with simple, massive shapes
and dominating monumental rigor characteristic for Soviet architecture.
Memorial house and other constructions - components of the complex – a
resindential house of relatives (cousins) of the painter (XIX century), with
low key, elegant interior; wine cellar, buildings of museum administration
(tens of families of Pirosmanashvili clan resided here about a century ago);
museum complex in Mirzaani covers several hectars and is part of breath
taking landscape, with wonderful view on Alazani valley.
Niko Pirosmanashvili museum comprises part of the building #29 in
Pirosmani (former Molokani) street, where artist spent last days of his
life and created many of his pasterpieces. Niko Pirosmanashvili housemuseum in Tbilisi was founded in 1982 and originally only covered the

In addition to the collection of fine arts Pirosmani museum in Mirzaani
owns rich ethnographic materials – numerous prominent specimens of

present state.
And still the biggest treasure of Niko Pirosmanashvili museum is a
collection comprising 14 paintings of Pirosmani. The master copies
are preserved at National Museum of Georgia (at Shalva Amiranashvili
Museum of Fine Arts, at Dimitry Shevardnadze Nacional Gallery and
Sighnaghi museum), Kutaisi Gallery of fine arts and Batumi, Adjara
museum of arts. Part of Pirosmani paintings are stored at Russian (Moscow
and Saint Peterburg) museums, Georgian and foreign private collections.
Since 70 –ies of XX century the collection of Pirosmani paintings was
significantly expanded with works purchased from private collections,
which are exhibited in permanent expositions of the museum: `Molokani
Carousing ~ (1972, from the collection of K. Zdanevich), `Woman with
Easter Eggs~ (1975, from Akhvlediani collection); `Shota Rustaveli at the
Table~ and `Queen Tamar~ (in 1986 the Ministry of Culture of Georgia

NIKO PIROSMANASHVILI STATE MUSEUM
Exhibititions were visited by thousands of people and enjoyed great
interest in public.
Along with memorial objects Mirzaani museum keeps personal dossier
of Niko Pirosmanashvili, comprising 1890-1894 years, the period, when
the painter worked at the railway of `Transcaucasia~ (South Caucasus)
and presents extremely important archive-documentary materials.
It is the first time the catalogue of Niko Pirosmanashvili state museum
