Art Gallery, Plovdiv

The Art Gallery in Old Town displays works by Bulgarian artists across five exhibition rooms with paintings, graphics, sculptures, and photographs. The collection represents different artistic movements and approaches that developed in the country.

The building was constructed in 1881 as a girls' school and served this purpose until the 1950s. It reopened in 1952 as a museum to showcase the country's artistic development.

The collection displays Eastern Orthodox Christian artworks that shaped how people in this region understand art and spirituality together. These pieces remain central to how the community views its creative heritage.

The gallery sits in Old Town where you can walk between several museums and cultural sites without traveling far. Combination tickets allow you to visit multiple locations at a lower cost than individual entries.

The museum features works by artist Zlatyu Boyadzhiev, who created industrial landscapes and thematic cycles displayed in dedicated exhibition spaces. These pieces show how one artist explored specific subjects through different approaches.
