The Natural History Museum in Cherni Osam

  The Natural History Museum in Cherni Osam has grown from a collection of stuffed animals originally meant to help biology teaching at the village school.
  The collection has developed thanks to the enthusiasm, knowledge and commitment of the local teacher, Iliya Hristov who has been involved since 1956.
  Now famous throughout the country, the museum provides another exciting attraction for visitors to the region. There are over 700 exhibits in the museum; one can see samples of all species native to the Central Balkan Range.
  Moving animals, and bird and animal sounds help to convey the excitement of the natural world in the museum’s galleries. The museum is still used as a practical tool for natural science teaching in many schools throughout Bulgaria.
