Established in 1906, the museum’s collection has grown over the years, and in 1981, a dedicated museum building was constructed. Visitors can marvel at the achievements of Preslav culture through exhibits of painted ceramics, a vast collection of epigraphic monuments highlighting literary traditions, and a unique array of lead seals. Don’t miss the stunning Preslav gold treasure, securely housed in the museum’s treasury.
