Zakaria Paliashvili House Museum

What will you see in Zakaria Paliashvili House Museum?

The house museum is located at 10 Akaki Bakradze street in Tbilisi, where the composer lived from 1915 to 1933. Here, he created the masterpieces of Georgian musical art, the operas "Abesalom and Eter" and "Daisi". 

The house museum was opened on October 2nd, the day of the composer's death, in 1962. Some of the exhibits were collected from Paliashvili's relatives, private individuals, Tbilisi Conservatory, Opera and Ballet Theater, and other institutions. 

The composer's study in the house museum is well-preserved, almost untouched. There’s a desk, grand piano, a conductor's tailcoat, archives, musical instruments, original opera scores, manuscripts, a unique collection of folk instruments, photographs, canvases, a library, and more.  

The museum building, which often hosts creative evenings and exhibitions, celebrates anniversaries, and gathers fans of Paliashvili's work, has been awarded an immovable monument of cultural heritage status.

The Tbilisi Professional State Opera and Ballet Theater bears Zakaria Paliashvili’s name in honour of his artistic legacy.
