Saving its traditional craft

Saving its traditional craft

[August, 2011] We came back to Sofia, where we started our tour.

Having whole afternoon, I went to the Ethnological Museum.

Bulgaria is famous for its embroideries or lacework, and you can see very nice costumes there.

There is a movement that use the old traditional technique in new design, and in the museum, a group of people demonstrated their works and let the visitors try some techniques.

I tried the lacework a bit.

By the way, you must not miss the shop of this museum.

The space is full of interesting craft products from all over Bulgaria.
