The fund “Bulgarian Folk Wearing” is one of the richest museum depositories in the country. The preserved in the national treasure - house, traditional folk wearing is the biggest source for the revealing of the ethnically unity and of the opulent Bulgarian culture.
The Ethnographic museum collection represents and the topological characteristic of the traditional Bulgarian folk wear. It represents in details its structure and composition, and describes the attitude and its function in the public life of the Bulgarians: for patron feasts or for work.
The museum curators can tell visitors interesting facts about the traditions and beliefs of the Bulgarian people, which were reflected in their way of life at the weekends and on the work days. One of the most interesting collections is the one devoted to embroideries. It is believed that the embroidery is one of the most distinctive features of the Bulgarian folklore.
