An Evening to Remember

The IACB Grand Evening Event will take place at the National Museum of History, one of the largest history museums on the Balkans. It hosts world famous artifacts such as the Panagyurishte gold treasure, the Gradeshnitza tablets, the Vila Armira mosaics, the St. Theodor ceramic Icon and many others.  Witnesses of all European history periods – from Paleolithic, through Neolithic, Copper Age, Bronze Age, Thracian, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine history, with focus on the 1300 years history of the Bulgarian state, the museum is one of the most interesting places to visit while in Sofia.

The elegant evening event will provide the IACB delegates with the unique opportunity to experience a spot of local culture, history and art.
