The museum was opened in 1959 in the memorial house of the Georgian director Kote Marjanishvili (1872-1933). In addition to memorabilia belonging to the director, the museum contains audio and video recordings of his film "Amok" and performances, correspondence and photographs of prominent figures of Georgian theater and cinema, plays, paintings (L. Gudiashvili, E. Akhvlediani, P. Otskheli, etc.), graphics and sculptures, samples of decorative and applied art, manuscripts, letters, antique furniture of the early twentieth century, tableware, etc.
Kote Marjanishvili's father, Alexander Marjanishvili, was a soldier. He translated from the French "Two Dians" by Alexander Dumas; his mother, Elizaveta Solomonovna Chavchavadze, was the addressee of pmisem Akakia Tsereteli, and Ilya Chavchavadze dedicated to her the poem "Do you remember, dear ...".
Kote Marjanishvili had two sisters – Tamara and Nino. The elder sister Tamara has been the abbot (abbess) of the Bodbe convent since 1890. The museum especially presents materials about her life and work.
Kote was educated at the first Tbilisi Gymnasium. For the first time, Marjanishvili performed in the Kutaisi Drama Troupe, which was led by Kote Meskhi. In the same year, he made his debut on the Tbilisi stage, playing the role of Irakli II in Akaki Tsereteli's dramatic poem "Little Kakhi". In 1910-1913 he worked at the Moscow Art Theater, where he staged the play by K. Hamsun "In the Paws of Life", H. Ibsen "Peer Gynt"; participated in the production of "The Brothers Karamazov" by F. Dostoevsky and the production of X. By Craig "Gamleia".
In 1913, Kote Marjanishvili founded the "Free Theater" in Moscow. In 1919, in Kiev, at the Solovetsky Theater, he staged the drama "Lope de Vega "Sheep Spring". This production went down in the history of the Soviet theater as the first Soviet performance. In 1920, Marjanishvili returned to Georgia and laid the foundations of the modern Georgian theater.
In 1924-1928, Marjanishvili worked in parallel in Georgian cinema. He made films "before the storm", "Amok", "Gadfly". In 1928, he founded a drama theater in Kutaisi under the name of the "Second State Theater". After two seasons (1928-1930), the theater moved to Tbilisi. Marjanishvili directed this theater until his death (after his death, since 1933, the theater was named after Kote Marjanishvili).

тов великого мастера.Интересно посмотреть чем жил режиссёр.У меня всегда большой интерес к жизни творческих людей, ведь их быт зна-
чительно отличается от быта обычного человека.Я бы с большим удовольствием посетила этот музей.Люблю музейную атмосферу .Особен-
но если музей организован в том доме,где проживал человек в чью честь был открыт музей.Еще больше узнать о жизни и творчестве знаме-
нитого режиссёра.Я бы сходила туда.
это – это в честь его памяти. В данном доме представлены мемориальные предметы, которые принадлежали Марджанишвили, аудиозаписи и видео с его фильмами, переписки и личные фотографии, антикварная мебель, живописные произведения и другое. Мне нравятся подобные музеи, сразу вырисовывается картинка о человеке, и его быте.
