Museum of History in Teteven

The Museum of History in the town of Teteven (central north Bulgaria) is located on the central square and offers visitors a rich collection of historical and ethnographic exhibits. In 1932, the voluntary committee Georgi Benkovski initiated the construction of House-monument in appreciation of the memory of the Teteven citizens died for the national liberty. The first museum collection was displayed there. After a reconstruction and expansion in 1974, a new exposition was opened, showing the history of the town staring from high antiquity until the Liberation from Ottoman yoke. The Museum exhibition includes three departments: Archeology, Ethnography and National Revival. The first one shows instruments dating from the late Paleolithic and the Neolithic period – finds that reveal the material and spiritual culture of the Thracians. The second one shows the crafts typical for the Teteven region. The National Revival department exhibits pictures, documents and personal belongings that reveal the participation of the local people in the National Liberation struggles.
