Worth a detour

A small municipal museum that opened in December 2012 with archaeology, ethnography and a gallery on three floors, and one object that justifies the stop: the silver hoard found at Sinemorets in September 2012, a hundred and ninety-nine tetradrachms including thirty-six struck for the Thracian king Mostis, of whom only eleven coins were known to scholarship before 1991.

Story

Background

The Sinemorets hoard is the reason people come. A hundred and ninety-nine silver tetradrachms turned up in September 2012, and thirty-six of them were issues of Mostis, a Thracian king about whom almost nothing is known and whose coinage was represented, before 1991, by eleven known pieces worldwide. A single find multiplying the known corpus several times over is not something a municipal museum usually gets.

Museum

Bulgarian museums outside the capital often keep short hours, close one day a week — Monday most commonly — and shut for lunch. Labels are frequently Bulgarian-only in the smaller ones, and a good many charge separately for the right to photograph.
