Scientists from the Sorbonne will study the cultural heritage preserved in the Regional Ethnographic Open-Air Museum "Etar", informs public broadcaster BNT. In March this year the French scientists together with experts of REOM "Etar" will study elements of the preserved tangible and intangible cultural heritage. The group consists of scientists from various fields, who will study the possibilities of using handicrafts today to protect the environment and develop ecological industries.



The Regional Ethnographic Open-air Museum "Etar" in Gabrovo was opened in 1964. It is a center for the study of the traditional culture of the Balkan people - from pre-industrial society to modern times. There are re-enactments of customs and traditions from the Bulgarian calendar.
