Museum of Davit Sarajishvili - Founder of Producing Georgian Cognac- Opens Today

On November 10, at 18:00, on the occasion of the 115th anniversary of the opening of Davit Sarajishvili's house, the Davit Sarajishvili Memorial Museum will be opened at 13 Machabeli 13.

On the second floor of the Sarajishvili house, the items of Davit Sarajishvili and Ekaterine Forakishvili are gathered again - a dinner service made especially for this house in the Limoges factory with a monogram of David; The transparent, purple tile of Marcel, which covered one wing of the house; Travel suitcase, safe, utensils, souvenirs and various historical documents. Visitors to the museum will have the opportunity to learn interesting details of the life and work of David and Catherine, with significant moments of their biography on the walls.

This day is also historic for the Writers' House - one of the main tasks of the whole team since the opening of this house is to popularize the life and work of Davit Sarajishvili, to re-introduce and remind his community of his work. Davit Sarajishvili's name was deliberately erased our consciousness by the Soviet era - for 70 years the public knew almost nothing about his multifaceted work and philanthropy.

Davit Sarajishvili was not only the first Georgian cognac producer, but also a man whose philanthropy significantly contributed to the success of almost every field in 20th century Georgia, economics, theater, music, university, art or literature. Therefore, the Davit Sarajishvili Museum is the history of Georgia at the beginning of the twentieth century, which, we think, will have many visitors and will soon occupy one of the most important places among the sights of Tbilisi.

The Writers' House would like to thank all those who have contributed at least to this idea. First of all, to the Sarajishvili Charitable Foundation, the Georgian Business Association and the TBC Foundation for financial support.

Also, for the unique exhibits provided to the Ioseb Grishashvili History Museum (Caravanserai) of the Georgian National Museum and for the financial support of the Tbilisi City Hall in preparing the museum exposition.
