  There really isn't much to see. The statues outside are interesting but there is nothing to explain the story behind them to visitors who want to learn more about Bulgarian socialism. There were some cool prints inside, but very few and again - no explanation or translation for foreign visitors. It is definitely not worth the 6 leva entrance fee.

  Well done to the people who saved all these relics from destruction and we can now view them all together and through them travel back in time to an era long gone. Worth a visit. 13.12.2014

  Fascinating insight into Bulgaria's communist era, thanks to the 30 minutes of propaganda films. Some decent art from the period, illustrating themes of rebellion, sacrifice and heroism. A sculpture park with some monumental pieces and the red star which topped the communist party headquarters.

  Somewhat difficult to find (our cab driver didn't know where it was) but once you are there you will enjoy some amazing art, both in and outside. The descriptions are written in Bulgarian and English and explain the exhibited art very well. This museum is one of the few places that charge an entrance fee, albeit very small. Don't miss the video that is played in the small gift store; just ask the shopkeeper to play it for you. To get back to the center you can take the metro; the nearest station is about a 5 minute walk.

  Small and yet moving. Entrance isn't obvious but Bulgarians were friendly so ask. Cold war reveals its icy edge when walking the statues. What a pity such great people had to waste lives and time to such monsters. But they're strong and kind and moving on. God bless Bulgarians.
