Review:

The Earth and Man National Museum opened in 1987 in Bulgaria's capital and soon grew to be one of the biggest mineralogical museums in the world. The museum has a number of exhibition halls dedicated to mineral diversity alongside laboratories, stock premises, a video room, and a conference room. Visitors can see over 40% of all known naturally occurring minerals at the museum. Among displays on amethyst geode, quartz, and rose quartz, visitors will also see exhibitions with petrified trees, large paintings, and ceramics that have been made with minerals. The museum also hosts chamber music concerts and others throughout the year for visitors to enjoy.
