Ethnographic Museum

Reviewed By permia

In the beautiful Argir Kuyumdzhioglu home is a fine array of exhibits, reflecting key aspects of Bulgarian life. An exceptionally ornate setting in the National Revival style incorporating Baroque influences makes for one of the most charming houses in the Old Town. Extensive artefacts are to be seen across crafts, agriculture, musical instruments, and more. Given the importance of Rose Oil, it features well. Musical pursuits cover instruments and also some lovely old gramophones.

Art Gallery Philippopolis

Reviewed By saronic - Zurich, Switzerland

This Art Gallery located in the old town of Plovdiv, being private, is not included in the combined museum ticket. The entrance fee is 5 BGN. It is located in one of the beautiful traditional houses in the Bulgarian National Revival style of the 19th century, which did bloom strongly in Plovdiv. Besides the architecture of the house itself one can now admire a lot of paintings, mainly by Bulgarian artists.
