The Plovdiv History Museum is hosting an interesting guest exhibition of the Gorna Oriahovitsa History Museum.

The exhibition opens tonight, 6 PM, and is called "Sins and Habits". The intersting exhibition focuses on popular "sins" of contemporary life: tobacco, coffee and sugar; and also features sections dedicated to clocks, teapots and typewriters.

The alcohol section exhibits bottles and glasses, as well as wine containers from early 20th century, produced in Bulgarian glass factories or imported.

This is an attractive exhibition to see - enjoy it!
