Opening its doors to all citizens and guests of Sofia on Thursday, September 10, Square 500 is keeping to its promise that entrance will be free on the second Thursday of every month.
Bulgaria's newest national gallery, however, is now adding other cultural sites (apart from its central building next to the Vasil Levski monument) to its free-admissions day.
These include some of the exhibitions at the National Art Gallery (the former Palace at Knyaz Alexander I Square), the Christian Art Museum in the crypt of the St Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, the Museum of Socialist Art and the Sofia Arsenal Museum for Contemporary Art.
Normal (no discount) tickets are worth BGN 10 (EUR 5).
Square 500, Bulgaria's newest national gallery, has a collection of tens of thousands of Bulgarian artworks dating centuries back, alongside permanent exhibitions of pieces from Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas.
It is open between 10:00 and 18:00 every day except on Mondays.
