Mushthaid Garden

Mushthaid Garden, Public park in Tbilisi, Georgia

Mushthaid Garden is a park at the end of David Agmashenebeli Avenue, bounded by Left Embankment, Tsabadze, Mayakovsky and Vakhushti Bagrationi streets. Its alleys pass a grove of relict zelkova trees and the two-storey, unplastered-brick building of the former Caucasus sericulture station, now the State Silk Museum. A children's carousel with a pink, yellow and blue kiosk and four pointed roofs stands on a circular platform on the paved ground.

Mir-Fatah-Agha, a Shiite mujtahid from Iran, laid out the garden in the 1830s on land granted by the Russian government for services in the 1826–1828 Russo-Persian war; his Georgian wife, who died early, is buried in it. The city bought the garden in 1853 and named it Mushthaid after its former owner. In 1887 Nikolai Shavrov set up the Caucasus silk station here, and on 24 June 1935 the park reopened as the Central Park of Culture and Rest named after Sergo Ordzhonikidze, with the world's first children's railway.

The garden's name comes from Mir-Fatah-Agha, a mujtahid from Iran who laid it out in the 1830s; by tradition he chose Tbilisi for his Georgian wife, who is buried here. From 1853 the garden was city property and hosted public promenades, exhibitions and performances. The former Caucasus silk station, built in 1892, now holds the State Silk Museum at 6 Tsabadze Street.

The park lies at the end of David Agmashenebeli Avenue, bounded by Left Embankment, Tsabadze, Mayakovsky and Vakhushti Bagrationi streets. The former silk station, now the State Silk Museum, stands at Tsabadze Street 6, and the station staff house at Agmashenebeli Avenue 184. The children's railway built in 1935 ran 1,200 metres with three stations.

The children's railway opened in 1935 with 1,200 metres of track and three stations, and Soviet sources call it the first of its kind in the USSR. Its cars ran through the garden named after Sergo Ordzhonikidze, as the park was then known.
