Story · National History Museum

  • nl

You're standing at the National Historical Museum in Sofia, the largest museum in Bulgaria. The building in front of you has quite a past of its own. It's part of a complex that served as the official residence of the President, the Vice President and the government of Bulgaria. A museum of national history in a place where the country was once run feels rather fitting.
