Специализиран музей за резбарско и зографско изкуство, Traditional craft museum in Tryavna, Bulgaria.
This specialized museum houses a collection of Bulgarian woodcarvings, religious paintings, and decorative elements created by artisans from Tryavna. The holdings include furniture, iconostasis screens, and architectural ornaments from different periods.
The museum was established in 1963 to preserve the legacy of Tryavna's Art School, which gained renown since the 17th century. During that era, the region developed its characteristic woodcarving and painting techniques.
The display shows how local woodcarvers and painters developed their skills through details on furniture, icons, and ornamental elements. You can see how these craft traditions remain alive in the town today.
The museum is located at Captain Dyado Nikola Square and operates year-round with guided tours available in several languages. It is helpful to check ahead for current offerings and tour availability.
Visitors can watch contemporary woodcarvers at work in dedicated workshop spaces, applying traditional techniques in real time. This living demonstration shows that the craft continues not just in displayed objects but in active practice.
