The National Historical Museum (Национален исторически музей, Natsionalen istoricheski muzey) in Sofia is Bulgaria's largest museum. It was founded on 5 May 1973 and its first representative exposition was opened in 1984 to commemorate 1300 years of Bulgarian history. The museum was moved in 2000 to the former primary residence[1] of dictator Todor Zhivkov at Boyana and currently stores and owns over 650,000 objects connected to archaeology, fine arts, history and ethnography, although only 10% of them are permanently exhibited.
The museum includes a library, cloakroom, buffet and souvenir shop. It also provides professional services in conservation and restoration, authenticity investigations and valuation.
As of 2015[update], the museum's director is Dr. Bozhidar Dimitrov, a historian.[2]
