According to the Bulgarian news agency, visitors will be able to see the unique gold mask of a Thracian ruler recently discovered during excavations in the kazanlak's Valley of the Kings, near the Shipka Peak, by Dr Georgi Kitov.
The Archaeology Institute is part of a total of 58 research institutes and 10 laboratories within the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, with more than 7,000 scientific and technician staff working at them.
