Multimedia surprises enrich the experience in Pancho Vladigerov House Museum

The well-known museum in Sofia, dedicated to the great Bulgarian composer Pancho Vladigerov and located in the artist's beautiful house at 10 Yakubitsa Street, begins its concert activities for 2026 on January 24 at 5 p.m. with a solo recital by renowned Bulgarian composer, conductor and pianist Lyubomir Denev, who presents original jazz versions of classic pieces by Frédéric Chopin, Robert Schumann, Pancho Vladigerov and Milcho Leviev, as well as his own works.

At the end of 2025, the Pancho Vladigerov House Museum announced that the project to expand the permanent exhibition and renovate selected locations in the space had become a reality. This turns the museum into a modern, interactive and accessible cultural destination that combines the authentic atmosphere of the legendary Bulgarian composer's home with current digital technologies and functional improvements.

A new interactive digital guide is available to visitors – a 3D tour of the museum with rich multimedia content in Bulgarian and English and documentary and illustrative elements for each exhibit in the physical exhibition. It includes access to the digital archive of the museum – previously unseen photos, programs, audio and video recordings.

The educational game "My Museum", developed in two modules – for children and for adults, allows those who wish, to create their own museum exhibition. The main game algorithm includes answers to questions related to the life and career of Pancho Vladigerov, as well as additional interesting information.

An audio guide system with individual devices provides visitors with a detailed narrative in Bulgarian and English.

Through the new elements that are already operational, visitors can experience a richer, more entertaining and more accessible story about the personality of Pancho Vladigerov, whose works are certainly the most frequently performed ones created by a Bulgarian composer on the world stage. By opening its doors to the younger generations, the museum team hopes to achieve an educational, emotional, technological and contemporary experience for visitors – a continuation of the institution’s most important mission of preserving and popularizing the Bulgarian musical heritage.
