Sofia's museums are almost exclusively Bulgaria-oriented and are aimed at chronicling the conflicting fortunes of this once great empire, the peoples that have passed through it from Thracians through Greeks, Romans and Turks, and the lives of the Bulgarians themselves in recent centuries. They can provide a fascinating insight into the Balkan Peninsula, and entrance fees are laughably low so there's no excuse not to visit them.
NATIONAL HISTORY MUSEUM 2, Vitosha Blvd.(tel: 884 160)
Working time: 09.30 - 18.30; No day off
The museum covers the whole period from prehistory to the present day. The
ground floor houses relics from the earliest period up to the Middle Ages and
includes gold and silver treasures (the Panagyurishte treasure), ceramics and
archaeological remains. The first floor concentrates on ecclesiastical art,
the 19th century Bulgarian National Revival including folk costumes, carpets
and typically furnished rooms from that period.
