National Polytechnic Museum — Attraction in Sofia City

The museum is small, the presentation is superficial and outdated. It tries to cover mainly the technical achievements of the 20th century. 1 display case for 1 theme, with a few sentences of superficial description with Bulgarian aspects and 3-4 objects as examples. Not all texts are available in English. For me, the exhibition was very boring.

Note that there is no parking available at the museum, but you can park on Billa store parking in 5 minutes...

It's clean and nice. Would absolutely recommend to visit it. Also it's very cheap. 5 lev for each person. Absolutely worth it! Even...
