National Art Gallery, Art museum in central Sofia, Bulgaria.

The National Art Gallery occupies the former royal palace building on Battenberg Square, containing more than 50,000 pieces of Bulgarian artistic works.

The gallery facility emerged from the Ottoman Chelebi mosque site, transformed into a royal palace from 1880 to 1882 under architect Viktor Rumpelmayer's direction.

The institution maintains extensive collections of medieval paintings, including four thousand icons representing Bulgarian Christian art from the 4th to 19th centuries.

Visitors can explore the gallery's exhibitions from Tuesday through Sunday between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM, with different sections spread across multiple venues.

The gallery combines several locations, including Kvadrat 500, The Palace, and specialized museums focusing on Christian art and socialist art periods.
