Serendipitous accident to find this museum....we were looking for a bakery on way south to Shipka Pass. Was greeted by English speaking guide (thank you😊) whoo gave us an orientation tour which was helpful and interesting. We were then left to our own devices . They have various permanent (why does Grabovo have a humour museum?) and temporary exhibits, all were well presented with English captions. Humour translates well, there were local and international exhibitors. Mix of slapstick, political, environmental etc. humour. Some quite thought provoking. As an Australian would say that Grabovians like to 'take the piss' out of themselves. Would highly recommend. An hour would be enough time but could have spent more. Cute gift shop with some quirky stuff

I really enjoyed the afternoon I spent here with my friend. The women at the front desk were helpful in checking us in and explaining the directions to us. There are four floors filled with historic and humorous arts that are well described in both English and Bulgarian. I went on an exhibition day, so there were many work of arts to see and laugh at. The labyrinth in the mirror room was my favorite, with children playing around and making it lively and colourful. The main Gabrovo bus station is just a few minutes away from the museum. So if you’ve arrived in Gabrovo by bus, you can make this your first stop before heading down to the city centre. I definitely recommend to visit once.

We had a nice afternoon at this museum. The museum is divided in four different floors if i remember correctly. Each of them has a different theme, one of the floor is dedicated to the people in Gabrovo who, as far i could find (me not being Bulgarian) they hate spending money. It is quite diverse and it does not get boring. Also, for foreigners is pretty good as every single article is translated to English. However and this is why I only rate it three stars, the air-con was switched off, our visit has been in august and it is pretty warm. We got to the point where we had to quit seeing it as the heat got terrible. It was a nice visit and interesting place to see, the fact it was no aircon was a killer but this explains a lot how the people from Gabrovo are.

The city of Gabrovo is known as the national capital of humor and satire and this museum is showing the Bulgarian comic prose folklore and preserve that tradition. It’s the only museum in the world devoted to humor. Something i found interesting is that the Museum is on the foundations of an old leather factory. Loved the Mirror room and how interactive it is. Very big thank you to the women working in the museum as they were so kind and nice.

A great day our with lots of fun. I think this is one of a kind museum in Bulgaria. The home of humor and the satire. A lot of different expositions stating with the famous Gabrovo humor and continuing on with weird and unexpected things. Gabrovo people are famous for their thrift and the way to economise from everything in their daily lives. The museum mocks that and takes it to another level .

Посетих го 2019 год. Това се нарича европейски музей.Ако сте в Габрово ,непременно го разгледайте. Браво на самата идея от нищо да направиш нещо.Цял музей на четири етажа. Похвала за служителката.Бях с група.Тя ни разходи с подробни обяснения из музея.Ясен , звучен глас.Ведро и лъчезарно излъчване.Успя да създаде такава атмосфера ,че се почувствахме ,сякаш сме на гости на близък човек. Разрешено е снимането.Изпитах радост.Незнайно защо из България все забраняват да се снима.Това оставя едно неприятно усещане.Тук не е така. Безплатни тоалетни.Чисти и нови.Тъй като в музея се обикаля по - продължително ,безплатните тоалетни са предимство. Ако сте с малки деца има помещение в което се настаняват децата ,а родителите разглеждат на спокойствие.Браво за тази идея. Не успях да си купя магнитче.Има ,но не хващат окото.Толкова много ми се искаше да намеря нещо оригинално ,подходящо за музея.Този пропуск обаче не оказа влияние на добрите ми впечатления от музея. Браво.Дано и в другите музеи започнат да се отнасят така радушно към посетителите. Препоръчвам.Посетете го.Освен всичко друго ,излизате усмихнати и развеселени.
