MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS AND RITUAL PROPERTIES HALL
In the Musical Instruments and Ritual Properties Hall, you will see a rich collection of folk musical instruments – kavals, whistles, Kaba and Jura bagpipes, tambourines, etc. You will be amazed by the horrifying costumes of the kukers – whitelegs and badzhatsi as well as their cone-shaped masks.
The city’s musical culture is also presented here – the barrel organ, the musical puppet theatre, and the gramophone. An exceptional part of the exhibition is the harmonium of the revivalist Nayden Gerov – the first keyboard instrument delivered to Plovdiv in the 60’s of the 19th century. The piano of the musician Angel Bukoreshtliev completes the story of the city.
