The most important event in the country's cultural life during this turbulent period was indeed the foundation of a national university in Tbilisi (now known as the [[Tbilisi State University]]) (1918), a long-time dream of Georgians thwarted by the [[Russian Empire|Imperial Russian]] authorities for several decades.
The [[Georgian National Museum|National Museum of Georgia]], theaters in Tbilisi and Kutaisi, the [[Georgian National Opera Theater|Tbilisi National Opera House]], and the National Academy of Art were in the vanguard of cultural life.
