Archaeological Museum (Veliki Preslav)

 interesting place, 1980_construction, archaeology museum, 100 Tourist Sites of Bulgaria

The idea for creating an archaeological museum in Veliki Preslav, which to collect and display the monuments discovered on the territory of the old capital, arose soon after Bulgarias liberation from Ottoman rule. This was possible in October 1906, when Preslav Archaeological Society "Ticha" was founded on the initiative of the preslavian teacher and publicist Yordan Gospodinov and with the help of the prominent researcher of the Bulgarian antiquities Karel Shkorpil. One of the main goals set in the companys statutes is the organization of a museum collection and active activity in the study and preservation of the remains of Simeons capital city. Due to the lack of a museum building, exhibits collected in the next few years by private persons and archeological excavations are exhibited in three separate collections: in the town hall, in the Patleyna Locality and the newly built hut near the Round (Golden) Church.
