CULTURE
The Bulgarian capital is the country's cultural heart, and home to an abundance of mu-
seums and galleries, ranging from serious old-school collections to more engaging modern
exhibition spaces. Whether your taste is for archaeology, religious art, natural history or so-
cialist realism, you'll have plenty of choice. The National Museum of History will take up
half a day and give you a solid overview of the nation's past, while you could spend several
more days exploring the diverse museums spread across the city centre. Pore over a century
of Bulgarian paintings at the National Art Gallery, or visit a battalion of stone Lenins at the
Museum of Socialist Art.
