Review & FAQ:
A visit to The National History Museum is an ideal way to learn all about the turbulent history of Bulgaria. Housed in the former dictator Todor Zhivkov’s residence, which is an excellent example of typical Stalinist architecture, the museum features numerous halls with tens of thousands of exhibits, documenting the history of the country from the First and the Second Bulgarian Kingdom to the age of Communism. Notable items in the museum’s vast collections include the world-famous golden Thracian treasure and 20th-century space research equipment.
