The Ethnographic Museum in Plovdiv is one of the most interesting museums in Bulgaria. Its exhibits are on show in a beautiful house, which is a fine example of the Bulgarian Baroque architecture of the National Revival Period. It was built in 1847. The principal façade of the house faces west, giving onto a spacious and well-kept garden. After restoration of Bulgarian country in 1878, this beautiful house was used for various purposes: as a girl’s boarding school, then a millinery factory and a tobacco warehouse, while in 1943 the exhibition of the Municipal house was opened in it. The exposition presents farming and crafts (weaving, tailoring, the work of copper and goldsmith and potters, etc.).
