The museum contains memorial items related to the life and activity of Georgian poet Vaja-Pshavel (1861-1915), ethnographic materials of the 19th and early 20th centuries, editions of his collected works of different years, paintings, graphic works and sculptures dedicated to the poet, photo materials, etc.
Vazha grew up in Pshavi, in the village of Chargali, in the large family of his father, self-taught village priest Pavle Razikashvili, and mother Barbale (Gulkan) Pkhikelashvili (brothers Vazha-Pshavela, Bachana and Tedo Razikashvili became famous writers) until the age of 8.
He studied at Telavi Theological School, in 1877-1879 at the two-class civilian school at the Tiflis Teachers' Institute, then at the Gori Teachers' Seminary, graduating in 1882. In 1883-1884 he was a free listener at the Faculty of Law of St. Petersburg University.
However, due to his predicament he soon left the University and worked for several years first in Otarasheni, Amilakhvari family as a home teacher, and then in Didi Toneti village school. From 1888 he lived in Chargali, like other peasants, plowing the land, taking care of the cattle and going hunting. He wielded great influence among the highlanders. Rarely did he go down to the valley. His brilliant poems, short stories and poems were written during the long nights in Pshavi.
Vazha-Pshavel's poetic style is characterized by great originality. The primary source of his colorful thinking was folk art. Vazha-Pshavel's works were rarely published as separate books during his lifetime (a collection of short stories in 1888, 1889; "Essays" 1899; "Tears" 1909 and others). In 1925-1956, at the initiative of A. Abasheli were published all complete collections of the writer's works in seven volumes. Vazha-Pshavel's masterpieces were translated into Russian (translators V. Derzhavin, N. Zabolotsky, O. Mandelstam, B. Pasternak, M. Tsvetaeva and others), English, French, German and other languages.
By decision of the World Peace Council in 1961, the world celebrated the 100th anniversary of his birth. In the same year the house-museum of Vazha-Pshavel in the village of Chargali was founded.
