The building is very interesting from a historical perspective but the exhibitions had little-to-nothing to do with its history. Very few objects were exhibited and they were simply labeled with their name and not their origin or their actual function. Information in English was available but extremely limited. Overall, not a good value-for-money, especially for visitors who don't speak...

A very nicely done museum. There is a rare painting of a building that was used to store ice. In winter, the Danube is frozen. Then they took ice out of it. They collected it in this building. In something like a well. Thus the ice was stored until the summer. This picture shows this building. Buildings of this type are unfortunately destroyed today. This picture alone shows what they...

Кръстатата казарма във Видин е построена през 1801 г. за нуждите на базираната във Видин османската армия. По-късно, след Освобождението, казармата се използва от Българската армия. Казарната представлява 2-етажна конструкция с обща застроена площ от 1260 кв. м. Сградите са построени пресичайки се във формата на кръст, откъдето произхожда името, с което е известна днес. В периода 1965 - 1967 г. сградата е реставрирана и превърната в музей, който днес е част от Регионален исторически музей Видин. Експозицията показва икономическия живот във Видинския регион от края на XIX-ти до началото на XX-ти век.

Muzej „Krstata kasarna“ je fascinantno mjesto koje prikazuje vojnu istoriju Vidina i Bugarske. Smješten u impozantnoj osmanskoj kasarni iz 18. vijeka, nudi eksponate oružja, uniformi i ratnih artefakata. Posjetioci mogu prošetati kroz autentične vojne prostorije i dobiti osjećaj života vojnika u prošlim vijekovima. Idealno za ljubitelje istorije, fotografije i edukativne ture, uz uvid u strateški značaj grada na Dunavu.
