    I passed the museum building about a dozen times before entering and looking at its exhibits. An interesting place.

    Wonderful history about the Bulgarian police service, dated back to the 19th century! With displays of uniforms, equipment, weapons, historic documents, etc. Sadly there is not much translated information but since the museum has only been open since November 2017 I am sure they is room for this to grow but don’t let this stop you from admiring the displays! :D the staff are super helpful and one kind lady went around every display with me helping to translate and explain the display and information! I hope to come back soon again! Thank you!

    Museum of Bulgarian ministry of internal affairs. The museum of police and a little bit of espionage mostly during socialist era of the country. The museum is free and very interesting, but the curator don't speak English. Still interesting place to visit during your stay in Sofia.
