National Ethnographic Museum - Етнографският институт с музей

Also in the building of the National Art Gallery is situate National Ethnographic Museum - Етнографският институт с музей (Национален етнографски музей, ЕИМ)
http://ethnography.cc.bas.bg/

Spread over two floors, it has a permanent collection of regional costumes and crafts, although most of the space is usually occupied by long-term temporary exhibitions on topics of varying interest, such as traditional festivals, carpet-making, provincial bread stamps, etc. (Everything is captioned in English.) Some rooms are in poor condition, but others, with their marble fireplaces, mirrors and ornate plasterwork, are worth pausing over; note the lobster, fish and dead duck on the ceiling of what was once presumably a royal dining room.
