Review:
Established in 1892, Bulgaria's National Archaeological Museum can be found in Bulgaria's capital, Sofia. The museum and research institute has been housed in one of Sofia's oldest and largest former Ottoman mosques since 1905. There are five exhibition halls for visitors to explore: The Central Hall, Prehistory, Middle Ages, Treasure, and a temporary exhibition that is constantly changing to something new and exciting. Visitors can see many artifacts, with some going as far back as 1,600,000 BC, such as tools, pottery, ritual items, and much more. There are many interesting things that visitors of all ages would appreciate, but one that shouldn't be missed is a copy of the Madara Horseman over the central staircase.
Address: National Archaeological Museum, ul. "Saborna" 2, 1000 Sofia, Bulgaria, Phone: +359-2-988-2406
