The Michailov's House is the only restored and preserved Renaissance house in Montana. From the end of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century, the family of Father Michail Variklechkov, a priest in the local church, lived in the house.
Today you can visit ethnographical exhibition “In the World of Grandma and Grandpa” in the house, which has more than 350 exponents of life in the traditional village and small town from the end of the 18th century to the beginning of the 20th century. Among the the most interesting exponents, there are samples from the Chiprovtsi goldsmith and carpet-maker's school, the ceramics and pottery from Berkovitsa, and the cloth and garment pieces that show the Bulgarian woman's sense for beauty. You can follow the development of the garments, furniture, and overall upholster in the houses of the rich urban families from the end of 19th to the beginning of 20th century, under the influence of the modern trends of western Europe. |
