снимка фасада Музей на фотографията

The Museum of Photography in the city of Kazanlak is the only one of its kind in Bulgaria. We have a collection of over 300 exhibits that you can view and more than 900 photographs in our fund. It was opened in 2015 and for 11 years now the museum has continued to enrich its collection and unite the photographic communities in the country with the support of the Kazanlak Municipality.

The collection chronologically goes from the beginnings of photogrpaphy and the oldest cameras working with metal and glass plates, through box cameras with roll films, cameras working with 35mm films, as well as some of the first digital cameras.

In the gallery hall every month you have the opportunity to see different exhibitions of Bulgarian and foreign photographers.

Exhibition “We Can Hear the Light” by Ivaylo Nyagalov

(Български) Според традициите на коренния народ саами (живеещ в севера на Норвегия, Швеция, Финландия и Русия), северното сияние се нарича guovssahas, което означава „светлината, която може да се чуе“. Те вярват, че сиянието представлява душите на техните предци, които танцуват в нощното небе. Сиянието идва с тишина – не трябва да се вдига шум, да се крещи или да се пее, за да не се разгневят духовете.“
