Review:
The National Historical Museum was established in 1973 and soon grew to be Bulgaria's largest museum. Visitors will find the museum in the former primary residence of Todor Zhivkov, the country's last communist leader. There are over 650,000 artifacts in the museum, ranging from history and ethnography to archaeology and fine arts. Visitors can explore the traditional costumes, weapons, furniture, art, and other pieces housed at the museum. Younger visitors can head to the Children's Center and participate in one of the museum's many educational and entertaining programs that focus on Bulgaria's historical and cultural heritage.
