Five Essays on Bulgarian Museums and Communism
Gabriela Petkova-Campbell
The fall of the communist regimes in Eastern Europe marked the beginning of a period of revision and establishment of new values. A period of complete denial was followed by nostalgia and finally by acceptance that communism can't be wiped without traces. This book explores a three-way relationship : between Bulgarian museums, communism in its Bulgarian variation and Bulgarian society. The link between the past, the present and the future of both society and museums is established by examining visitor's approach towards museums and the way history was and is represented in them.
