The National History Museum in Sofia is Bulgaria's largest museum. It was established in 1973. On 2nd March 1984, the new representative exhibition was opened in the building of the Court of Justice on the occasion of the 1300-th anniversary of the Bulgarian state. In 2000, the National Museum of History shifted to a new location – Home 1 in the former Boyana Residence, where on 10th November 1989 the last communist leader was removed from power.
     The National Museum contains more than 650 000 exhibits and is one of the largest history museums on the Balkans. The aim of the museum is to provide a comprehensive view on Bulgarian history from the prehistory to present, in as broad a European context as possible.
