This park contains over 150 pieces of official art from the Communist era, rich in sculptures and paintings.

As a branch of the National Art Gallery, this 7,500m2 park, with a 550m2 hall, contains more than 150 pieces of official art from the communist era; rich in sculptures and paintings, one can see the bust of Lenin or scenes praising the merits of socialism. It was originally supposed to be called "Museum of Totalitarian Art", before a more neutral name was adopted. A bit surreal and very interesting for a Westerner, it deals with a past that was too quickly hidden in the rapid transition to democracy in Bulgaria.

On accède au musée par un parc où sont présentées des centaines de statues de gloires du socialisme (place spéciale accordée au local Dimitrov). Ensuite pour rentrer dans le musée lui-même on passe d'abord par une salle où est présentée l'histoire du socialisme local. Ensuite vient la salle d'exposition en elle-même, elle est assez grande et donc composée d'oeuvre réalisées à l'époque communiste. Le style est bien entendu différent de ce que l'on voit par chez nous, mais il vaut tout de même le coup d'oeil et quelques oeuvres sont vraiment intéressantes d'un point de vue artistiques. Même si il faut l'avouer l'ensemble est assez...déconcertant.
