We are creating an illustrated book about the apartment located at 20 Leo Kiacheli St., the purpose of which is to tell the diverse history of Tbilisi in an interesting and easy-to-understand manner using the example of one extraordinary apartment.
This apartment historically belonged to the famous public figure, doctor and scientist - Mikheil Gedevanishvili. Mikheil Gedevanishvili was a friend and associate of Ilia Chavchavadze and many famous public figures, he brought the first X-ray machine to Georgia, 1 year after its invention; A number of works in the field of psychology, including children's psychology, were published under his authorship. He was an active philanthropist and innovator. It was within the walls of this house that the first Georgian-language kindergarten was established, the first women's assembly was held, as a result of which women gained the right to vote in elections. Within the framework of the project, the news, events and facts of the 19th and 20th centuries will be told in a very interesting and fun format, precisely with the history of Mikheil Gedevanishvili's apartment.
