The Red Flat

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.

Alexander Nevsky Crypt Museum

Reviewed By ANGELOV230 - Milan, Italy

On the left side of the main entrance to the cathedral you can find the entrance to the sacred art museum hosted in the cathedral crypt. For a fee of a few leva you can enjoy vewing extraordinary icons, paintings, frescoes and you can also take photos (no flash, of course), except in the smaller room. I found this museum much more enjoyable than the cathedral.

Museum of Socialist Art

The Museum of Socialist Art (MSA) opened on September 19th 2011 as part of the structure of the National Museum of Bulgarian Art and is under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture. The museum consists of a sculptural park (7,500 square metres), where 80 works of monumental sculpture are exhibited at present; and an exhibition hall (550 square metres), designed for works of easel art. There is also a video hall, where archival and documentary films related to the socialist era are projected. The souvenir shop offers authentic items, books and postcards as well as contemporary items. The sculptural area will be supplemented and enriched, while the expositions in the interior part will be periodically updated. Thereby, it will be possible to show different perspectives and diverse curatorial interpretations of the Socialist period in Bulgarian fine arts.

Very interesting and well composed exposition of historical and art samples. The museum also organized thematically weeks.
