The Panagyurishte Golden Treasure will remain in the city of Plovdiv
All Bulgarian treasures will be exhibited at the inauguration of the new building of the archeological museum of the central Bulgarian city of Plovdiv. Part of them will remain in the city. The rest of the priceless antiques will be exhibited only in the first days after the opening of the museum. According to senior researcher Prof. Kostadin Kisiov PhD, director of the museum, the building that is still under construction will be ready in one or two years. It will be one of the biggest and most imposing museums on the Balkans. More than 100,000 antiques that are currently locked in vaults and that no one has seen for 15 years will be exhibited in the museum. Some of the exhibits date back more than 70,000 years BC ago. Each exhibit will have its own designated place in the new building.
The most famous Bulgarian treasure - the Panagyurishte Golden Treasure will be in the spotlight of the exhibition. The treasure remained in Plovdiv until 1974. After the building started to fall apart the decision was taken to move the treasure to the National Museum of History in Sofia. The treasure consists of nine unique objects crafted from 24 carat gold and is frequently displayed in various museums across the world.
