Niko Pirosmani house, artist's house and museum in Georgia
The Niko Pirosmani House is a simple brick building from the 19th century in Mirzaani, built by the artist himself. The rooms contain 14 of his original paintings, personal objects, traditional Georgian crafts, and over 9000 items that document his life and artistic work.
The artist built the house at the end of the 19th century and spent his final years there. The building became a museum in 1960, and an exhibition hall was added in 1979 to preserve his growing legacy.
The house reflects the rural culture of Georgia as shown in Pirosmani's paintings. The rooms demonstrate how traditional village communities lived and worked, connecting his artistic legacy with the local customs of his era.
A visit does not take long, but you can walk through the rooms at your own pace and enjoy the quiet setting. The rural location of Mirzaani provides a peaceful environment that enhances the experience.
Pablo Picasso created a portrait of Pirosmani, honoring the artistic importance of the self-taught painter. This lithograph is part of the museum collection and shows the international recognition his work received.
