Over 150 exhibits from 14 Bulgarian museums will take part in an exhibition entitled "Ancient Thrace and the Classical World". The exposition will be opened on November 3 at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles and will continue until March 3, 2025.

Bulgarian objects represent over 90% of all exhibits included in the exhibition,  the National Archaeological Institute and Museum at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences has announced.


The artifacts included in the exhibition span a period of over two millennia – from the Late Bronze Age (2nd millennium BC) to the time of the Roman Empire – and illustrate the important place of Thrace in the ancient world.
Discoveries emblematic of ancient Thrace discovered on Bulgarian lands will be featured. Visitors to the Getty Museum will be able to take a close look at the Valchitran gold treasure, the Panagyurishte gold treasure, the complex of objects from the Golyama Kosmatka mound near the town of Shipka, vessels from the Rogozen Treasure and many others, we learn from a BTA interview with Assoc. Prof. Dr. Margarit Damyanov from the National Archaeological Institute with Museum.


Leading world museums have also provided items from their collections, Prof. Damyanov adds. These include the Louvre Museum in Paris, the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Getty Museum itself. 

And also - since the ancient Thracian lands extend beyond the modern borders of Bulgaria - over parts of today's Turkey, Greece, Romania, Serbia and North Macedonia, for the first time  exhibits from Greece and Romania also are featured in such an exhibition, reports BTA.
