The National Historical Museum in Sofia is Bulgaria's largest museum. It was founded on
5 May 1973 and its first representative exposition was opened in 1984 to commemorate
1300 years of Bulgarian history. Since its foundation the National museum of history has
accumulated over 600 000 artefacts-monuments of culture and amassed rich archaeological
and historical archive. Its funds account for one fifth of all monuments registered in
Bulgaria. More than 10 000 exhibits accommodated on an area of about 6000 sq. m. cover
the history of present Bulgarian lands (from the 7th millennium BC to the mid-20th century)
seen in the European historical context. The permanent exhibition extends across 5 halls:
Prehistory (7th – 2nd millennium BC)
Ancient Thrace (late 6th – 1st century BC – 6th century AD)
Bulgarian Middle Ages – First Bulgarian kingdom (681 – 1018) and Second Bulgarian
kingdom (12th century – 14th century)
Bulgarian lands between 15th and 19th centuries
Third Bulgarian Kingdom (1878 – 1946)
The Apolonia, Numismatics and Ethnography thematic exhibitions occupy their own
significant place in the museum. The visitors can relax, enjoying the splendid natural
scenery while their children have great fun on the recreation ground.

Hall 1: Prehistory (6th - 2nd millennia BC)
Numerous artefacts, marking the main stages of the human presence in today’s Bulgarian
lands and covering the period from early 6th millennium until late 2nd millennium BC, i.e.
the Neolithic, Chalcolithic and Bronze Ages are exhibited in the hall.
At the end of the Bronze Age tribes who inhabited Bulgarian lands are consolidated and
appear on the historical scene with their names in the written sources.
Hall 2: Bulgarian lands from the end of the 6th century BC to the
6th century AD
In the middle of the 1st millennium BC the first powerful Thracian kingdom was founded in
the present Bulgarian lands – that of the Odrysae under the authority of Teres. Gradually the
Odrysian kingdom grew into a political power of the greatest importance on the Balkan
Peninsula. According to Thucydides, it was the wealthiest of all the European states situated
between the Ionian gulf (Adriatic Sea) and Pontos Euxeinos (Black Sea) judging by its
revenues and prosperity.
Treasures from Zlatinitsa, Sinemorets, Kralevo and Yakimovo (4th–1st century BC),
Kapitan Andreevo (3rd century AD), gold and silver finds from the excavations of the
National Museum of History in the Valley of the Kings, as well as exquisite silver vessels
from the fund of the National Museum of History (4th–3rd century BC), Thracian protective
and offensive armament of all kinds from the 4th–2nd century BC are shown in the Hall.
The Hall displays parts of treasures and rich grave offerings from Panagyurishte, Rogozen,
Letnitsa, Duvanlii, the Mogilanska burial mound in Vratsa. The richest private collection of
antique monuments and artefacts “Vasil Bozhkov” is also on display.

Hall 3: The Bulgarian State during the Middle Ages
(7th - 14th c.) The beginning of the exposition shows Pagan Bulgaria. The first independent state was
Great Bulgaria, founded by Khan Kubrat (632–665) in the basins of the rivers of Dnieper
and Kuban. Pushed by the Hazares in the end of the 7th century, the Bulgarians took from
Byzantium the area between the Carpathian Mountains and the Balkan Range and founded
the Bulgarian Khanate on the Danube River (681–864) with Pliska as their main centre.
The adoption of Christianity in 864 strengthened the position of the supreme autocratic
power and speeded the process of consolidation of the Bulgarian nation as well as the
building of an integrated culture. In the 9th and 10th centuries, the Bulgarian State was a
mighty political power and a factor of primary importance in Europe.

The western part of hall No.3 shows exhibits of the political and cultural history of Bulgaria
and objects testifying to the power of the rulers and the aristocracy, the flower of the
mediaeval town and the crafts in the 12th – 14th centuries – a period known as the Second
Bulgarian Empire.
Hall 4: The Bulgarian lands under Ottoman rule (1396–1878) Two fateful dates pay a central role in the framing of the historical layout in Room 4: 1396
when the territory of the Mediaeval Bulgarian state was conquered by the Ottoman Turks
and 1878 when Bulgaria revived for new political life with the signing of the San Stefano
Peace Treaty between the Russian and Ottoman Empires. This nearly five centuries of
existence of the Bulgarians under the Ottoman rule is divided into two long periods: the
15th – 17th century, the so-called “Late Middle Ages” and the 18th – 19th century (1878) –
the Revival period. During this period, the Christian faith was the unifying factor for the
whole Orthodox population on the Balkans and the Orthodox Church was the only
institution which continued to preserve and develop Bulgarian traditions. The monasteries
became national and cultural centers, which maintained and spread the education.
The Revival period was marked by the ideas for ecclesiastical and national independence
and was a part of the whole Balkan Revival, which had been influenced by the ideas of the
Renaissance and the Enlightenment.
The Russian-Turkish war erupted in 1977. The San Stefano Peace Treaty was signed on
March the 3rd 1878 and the Bulgarian State was restored.

Hall 5: Third Bulgarian Kingdom (1878–1946) The exhibition of the Third Bulgarian Kingdom comprises the period from the restoration of
Bulgarian state from 1878 till 1946 when Bulgaria was declared as a People’s Republic. The
Berlin Treaty from 1878 divided Bulgaria in several parts. One of them is Principality of
Bulgaria, vassal to the Ottoman Empire and other is the Province of Eastern Rumelia, which
was under the direct military and political subordination of the Supreme Porte. More than
2.5 millions of ethnic Bulgarians were left out of the borders of the Principality of Bulgaria.
The exhibition represents more than 600 exhibits, which are related to the basic moments of
the political economic and cultural development of the Third Bulgarian Kingdom.
Very important place in the exhibition is kept for the The Bulgarian Monarchs – Knjaz
Alexander I, Knjaz/from 1908 also Tzar/ Ferdinand I and Tzar Boris III and many other
famous politics, scientists, writers and people who worked for the development of the
education and culture and played important role in the building up of Bulgaria and turning it
into a modern European country.
The ethnographic collection of the museum shows a reconstruction of a Renaissance school.
A rich collection of stone columns and monuments from various periods (Greek, Roman,
Byzantine), are situated in the courtyard of the museum.
Souvenirs, informational materials and specialized literature are sold at the museum. The
museum also offers a library.
It will be our great pleasure to welcome you to the National Museum of History in Sofia.
We hope you will enjoy this opportunity to be acquainted with exhibitions in the National
Museum of History in Sofia and to learn more about the largest museum in Bulgaria.

The Technical Museum, established in 1954 in Zagreb, follows in the tradition of the great science
and technology museums of the world. Since 1958 it has occupied the protected wooden buildings designed
by architect Marijan Haberle. The buildings were erected initially to house the Zagreb Fair.
In addition to the several thousand items on permanent display, the Museum has some 10 000 items in
storage. Among them are objects of everyday use which are typical of the industrial era of the 19th and 20th
centuries. The Museum invests a lot of effort into popularising science and technology. It organises lectures on
science and technology, presentations and shows, presentations and lectures in the Planetarium, workshops
and events such as the Science Festival, and other activities.
The permanent exhibition is divided into separate themed displays based on the organisation of the Museum’s
departments.
The section on traffic vehicles offers a chronological journey through the development of water, land,
and air transportation.
Advances and developments in fire fighting, with a special emphasis on Croatia, are illustrated by original
items, including hand and motor-powered hoses, horse-drawn fire fighting vehicles, ladders, piping, sprayers,
and other fire fighting equipment.
The agricultural exhibits focus on different technical implements that were used for digging and
ploughing. A separate section is dedicated to the Apiary, which shows historic and modern beekeeping
methods.
The astronautics section features models of famous spacecraft, rocket-carriers, and orbit stations that
illustrate the early development of astronautics. The greatest attraction is the Planetarium where, with the
help of a specially constructed projector, visitors can view the starry sky from the North Pole to the Equator at
any time of the night and in any season.
The mining collection takes us through the development of ore exploitation and processing. A special
attraction is the 350 m long model mine, built below the Museum, which illustrates the history of mining in
Croatia.
The Demonstration Cabinet of Nikola Tesla has been constructed in the section dedicated to the
great personalities of Croatian science and technology. Arranged around the seats are exhibits illustrating
Tesla's childhood, schooling, life and work in America, and the genius's medals and other recognition awards.
In the Cabinet, experiments are demonstrated using reconstructions of Tesla's most famous inventions, which
are based on his original drawings and patent applications. Visitors can observe a rotating magnetic field,
Tesla's high frequency transformers, the wireless transfer of electromagnetic oscillations, a remote-controlled
ship, Tesla's turbine, etc. Not only do visitors watch the experiments, but they may also take part in them if
they wish.

The Limassol District Archaeological Museum
CYPRUS
The Limassol District Archaeological Museum was founded in 1948 and was initially housed
in a part of the Limassol Castle. After 1964 it remained closed for a long time as the castle
was then transferred to the National Guard. Construction activities for the new modern
Museum, which is located near the Limassol public Gardens, began in 1972. The new
exhibition was rearranged in March 1975.
Nowadays, the Archaeological Museum is one of the key attractions of Limassol,
as it provides a very interesting collection of antiquities and presents an insight to the rich
cultural heritage of Cyprus.
Geometric period (1050-750 B.C.)
14
The Archaeological Museum houses exhibits dated between the Neolithic Ages to the Roman
times. Through the exhibited items the visitors can follow the development of civilisation in
the island from the 9th millennium to the end of the Late Roman period and, at the same
time, gain a sense of Cypriots’ everyday lives as well as the art that they produced.
The antiquities have been found during systematic and rescue excavations of the Department
of Antiquities of Cyprus and of the foreign Archaeological Missions in the City and the
District of Limassol as well.
Limassol is built between two ancient cities, Amathus and Kourion. Some of the most
interesting items were sourced from the excavation of these nearby ancient cities, especially
from Amathus.
Museum’s exhibits are divided into three rooms. The first room primarily exhibits an
extensive collection of pottery of significant historical periods. The middle room houses coins,
gold, silver and bronze jewellery, oil lamps and a variety of copper tools and wares, while the
third has sculptures, tomb stones, capitals, inscriptions and other marble and limestone
objects.
Early Bronze Period (2500-1900 B.C.) Jar with relief decoration (Kourion). Late Bronze Period (1650-
1050 B.C.)
Amongst the greatest archaeological discoveries are stone axes of the Neolithic and
Chalcolithic period, ancient weapons such as knives and arrowheads fragments of objects for
domestic use, plentiful Roman terracotta figures, and Byzantine artefacts.
Some of the exhibits date back to the era before Cyprus had even been settled, such as the
skull and jawbone of a pygmy hippopotamus and the tusk of a dwarf elephant found on the
Akrotiri, an area near Limassol.
15
Pigmy hippopotamus skull and jaw
Because ancient Amathus was one of the main centres of worship of Aphrodite (i.e. Venus in
Roman times), exhibits include many objects related to goddess, such as votive offerings, and
female terracotta figurines. That’s why the museum has been linked with the Aphrodite’s
cultural route.
Hellenistic period artifacts
From the rich finds from Amathus also stands, a stone stele depicting the Egyptian goddess
Hathor and a statue of the god Visa which they points the profound effects of eastern
elements in artistic production of the ancient city.
16
Hathoric pilaster capital from Amathus 5th century B.C.
A special educational program named «Kyprida Aphrodite» (Cyprus Aphrodite / Venus)
launched at the Archaeological Museum of Limassol in October 2007. This program aims to
awake pupils’ interest in Cyprus history and culture heritage engaging active learning. It is
considered to be a quite pleasant and fruitful experience.
Pupils of our school during their visit (1)
Using museum objects - especially those associated with the worship of Aphrodite - as unique
teaching resources, unlocks new learning opportunities for our pupils. Education in the
museum enrich and enhance our pupils knowledge and understanding about their civilization
and makes it possible to realize the importance of Aphrodite in Cyprus and its constant
presence in island’s tradition.

Guido MINE
POLAND
Pic. 1 – the Railway shaft
Railway lines development since the mid-nineteenth century, allowing the transport
of raw materials and finished products had contributed to the rapid development of
Upper Silesian industry. In the area of Zabrze new mines were opened, as well as
mills and factories using steam for driving machines and equipment. This resulted in
rapid growth of coal demand. In 1855, Count Guido Henckel von Donnersmarck,
magnate and industrialist, founded in Zabrze a new coal mine, which was named after
him - Guido.
Pic. 2 – Count Guido Henckel
von Donnersmarck
In 2000, because of costs reduction and restructuration of
the Polish coal mining industry, The Guido Mining
Museum was closed-down and disassembling of the Mine
was started. However, by dint of efforts of many
institutions, notably Zabrze local government and
individuals, this destructive practice was stopped, and in
2007 the Historic “Guido” Coal Mine has been founded, as
a cultural institution operating under the auspices of Zabrze
municipality.

COMENIUS: INTERVIEW AT THE MUSEUM OF HISTORY OF MELILLA - SPAIN
Melilla along with the Chafarinas Islands, is located on the North coast of Africa but
is an autonomous city of Spain and an exclave permanently inhabited as a Spanish
territory in mainland Africa. Its history is collected in “Las Peñuelas” Museum, which
formerly served as a protective warehouse during the 18th Century when the city was
fortified and those warehouses were used as a goods and equipment supply depot.
The earliest Paleolithic and Neolithic remains were at the Chafarinas Islands. This
area was chosen by the first settlers due to its natural wealth and its proximity by the
coast. Thanks to the remains found in the interior of a hut and its surroundings, nowadays
we know that the population worked in
Pottery for domestic use and food
storage
Agriculture, because they
employed stone mills to crush
grain and other vegetables.
Stock-breeding. They bred cattle,
cows and sheep to feed their
population and use their leather
and bones afterwards.
Hunting. Stone axes, knives and
other tools used for skin tanning
have been found too.
Fishing. Snails, sea snails,
mussels, fish bones and seal
bones were found in the ground
of the hut.
Flint industry. The settlers made
the most of a nearby flint deposit
which was used to make many
tools.
45
The next settlers were the Phoenicians who founded the city of Rusaddir (nowadays
Melilla) between the 7th and 6th centuries B.C.
Its particular location in a rich mining area turned the city into the main seaport in the
region thanks to the Muluya River basin.
During the Islamic Period the city adopted the name of Malila.
Thanks to the seaport many commercial and trading relationships were established
with other cities.
However, after Rome defeated
Carthage all trading and commercial
transactions were reduced to a bare
minimum. One of the most important
discoveries of that period was a shipwreck
which carried thousands of coins.
Among these archaeological remains
found in Melilla, amphoras stand out the
most. Their shape has evolved throughout
the centuries to carry and store food and
drinks such as wine, water or fish sauce.
After the fall of the Carthaginian
Empire came the Moors and the Romans.
Rusaddir became a Roman province
named “Mauritania Tingitania”. All kinds of
amphoras were used again in commerce
and for trading goods.
From that period we hold many
findings like jewellery, coins, black pottery
and even the tomb of a very important
person.
46
Malila is considered at that time a typical Islamic city due to the main mosque which
was the religious gathering point, the public Turkish baths where people relaxed and
agreed many business transactions and the street market which served as meeting point
for commercial transactions.
Since the 15th century, already being a Spanish city, Melilla turned into a stronghold
with a fortified city consisting of various walled precincts. The civil population was brought
together in the so-called First Precinct.
For the better preservation
of food and grain silos were dug
and carved in the rocks.
The scale model of the city
shows all four fortified precincts.
These precincts were connected
with underground galleries and a
tunnel system.
The following are very
representative from that period: oil
lamps (used for lightning), pottery
(tableware and kitchenware) and
the Treasure of Guardana,
consisting of 789 squared-shaped
silver coins without any
iconography.
47
Between the 16th and the 18th centuries many essential constructions were built,
like the main water reservoir to supply the city, the church, the hospital and the off-city
strongholds with fresh water.
A unique characteristic of the reservoir are the marks and signs made by the
stonemasons. These signs functioned both as part of the construction of the reservoir and
as a signature of their own work.
In the last period of our history, contemporary Melilla, we hold an important art
collection that shows all the significant changes that the city experienced until it became
the modern city that we can see today.
The city spread outside its walls and turned into a modern scattered city with
distinctive buildings which follow a modernist and Art Deco style thanks to the work of the
architect Enrique Nieto.
If you want to watch the video click here
The historic event that marked
the beginning of that period was the
delineation of its territory with the
cannon shots of the cannon “El
Caminante” which determined the
present limits. This agreement was
signed between Spain and Morocco
form 1859 to 1862.
Nowadays, Melilla is the
second most important modernist
city in the world as well as an
example to the world of how our five
cultures live in tolerance, co-
existence and act as a cultural
melting pot.

Adana - Atatürk Museum - TURKEY
The museum building is one of the traditional Adana houses on Seyhan
Avenue, built in 19th Century. A two-storey structure built of brick and
stone with bay windows and pitch roof.
Because of its peculiar characteristics, it is classified as “Cultural Real Estate under
Conservation” by the Ministry and preserved in its original state. When Atatürk and
his wife visited Adana on 15 March 1923 they stayed in this house which belonged
to Suphi Pasha of Ramazanogullari at the time.
The building was expropriated and restored by the “Atatürk Scientific and
Cultural Conservation and Revival Society” and under the guidance of
49
Army Corps commander Bedrettin Demirel and by the people’s help and
donations, opened to public as a museum in 1981 under the
administration of Directorate of Museums.
