Om
Raske fakta: Museet holder til i en slående bygning fra 1800-tallet som en gang var en pikeskole, og rommer over 100 000 gjenstander som spenner over 8 000 år med historie. En av de mest verdifulle eiendelene er Panagyurishte-gullskatten, et sett med ni utsøkt utformede trakiske gullkar som veier over 6 kilo til sammen.
Høydepunkter: Museets gårdsplass skjuler et lite, originalt gulvmosaikk fra 300-tallet fra det gamle Filippopolis, fortsatt innebygd akkurat der det ble funnet under bygningen. Du kan stå på en glassplattform rett over mosaikken og se sollyset skifte over tusenvis av små fargede steiner som har blitt gått på i over 1 600 år.
Insidertips
- Skip the main floor first and head straight to the top floor where the Panagyurishte Gold Treasure is displayed, before crowds form.
- Don't miss the small coin collection room on the second floor featuring over 3,000 ancient coins, including some minted right in Philippopolis.
- Photography is allowed without flash, but the gold treasure room has dimmer lighting to protect the artifacts, so adjust your camera settings beforehand.
- Combine your visit with a walk through the adjacent Ancient Theatre of Philippopolis, just a 5-minute stroll uphill.
