Centrally located next to the Russian church, this museum is a good wet weather choice for families with children, as the collection of stuffed, pickled or preserved animals never fails to impress.
On the staircase of this old building there is a permanent exhibition of live reptiles and amphibians and on the ground floor there is also a collection of rocks and minerals from the moon. In the foyer is a small shop selling semi precious stones and some rather attractive contemporary jewellery.
The National Museum of Natural History in Sofia is the richest museum of natural history on the Balkans.
