A Bulgarian evening was held at the British Museum in London, where the Panagyurishte Treasure is exhibited. If you visit the exhibition, you will see that the most significant items in it are from the lands of ancient Bulgaria - this is the Panagyurishte Treasure, said Dr. Jamie Fraser, lead curator of the exhibition "Luxury and Power: From Persia to Greece".

The director of the National History Museum, Boni Petrunova, held a lecture dedicated to the treasure. The visitors of the evening listened to Bulgarian folklore performed by the London Bulgarian Choir. "Music has always been the voice of God, and we are here for the exhibition of the treasure found in Bulgarian lands," said choir conductor Desislava Stefanova. The evening ended with folklore dances.
