Birthplace and home to Hadji Dimitar the leading revolutionary against the Ottoman rule during the 19th century in the struggles for an independent Bulgaria. He was born in this two story house and grew up here in Silven. Besides the architecture the house has some period furnishings and a museum to Hadji Dimitar's life. There are photos and story boards (some are in English as well as Bulgarian) in a couple of the upstairs rooms.

The Red Flat is not a typical museum, but an interactive experience and a time machine aiming to send you back to the 1980’s - the last stage of the communist regime in Bulgaria. By entering the flat, you will visit the home of an average family and discover what everyday life was like for ordinary Bulgarians during the Cold War.

The National Institute of Archaeology with Museum at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences covers the complete study of the culture of tribes and peoples who have occupied present day Bulgaria from the remote past until the 18th century. The Museum of Archaeology hosts the most numerous collections in Bulgaria and its exhibitions reveal it as one of the most important centers in the country for promotion of the cultural heritage of present day Bulgaria. NIAM-BAS was established in 1949 as a follower and successor of the Department of Valuables - part of the Library established in Sofia in 1879 and reformed into a National Museum in 1892 - and the Bulgarian Institute of Archaeology (1921), which was the first academic institute in Bulgaria.

One of Bulgaria's first museums (set up in the 1890s) housing a collection of monuments ranging from finds from the stone and bronze age through antiquity and to medieval times. The building itself is a former mosque, and was turned to use as a museum after Bulgaria became self-governing (in 1878). The museum building is integrated into the new building of the Bulgarian National Bank (the white building on the left of the photo), dating from the late 1930s.

The collection here must be one of the best in the world for the pre Roman era. Everything is so beautifully curated and the layout fits the building. Follow the right route through the histories. I particularly liked the flint stone long blades. How were these made from the natural stone, amazing. Gold objects in burials are remarkable. Not to be missed on any visit to Varna. Super.

The symbol of Pleven, if you are in town, be sure to visit it. The panorama is amazing, brings you back to the past. It is difficult to distinguish where the painting ends and the layout begins. There is a large parking lot in front of the building, which is very convenient. Working hours are until 5:00 pm. I recommend that you pay for the conversation to understand the meaning of the pictures and the panorama.
