The beloved writer of generations of Bulgarians, Dimitar Dimov, died suddenly on April 1, 1966, at the Bucharest airport while waiting for return flight to Sofia. A day earlier, on March 31, he left for the Romanian capital for a meeting in his capacity as chairman of the Union of Bulgarian Writers. He left from his apartment at 26 Krastyo Sarafov Street in the Lozenets district - today the Dimitar Dimov House Museum. For 50 years, the National Literary Museum has been preserving the cultural heritage of Dimitar Dimov.

In the last home of the writer, scientist, artist and encyclopaedist, the atmosphere of the last 12 years of his life remains preserved, as well as the picture from the moment before his departure for Bucharest. In the house museum, visitors can see the study of the author, the laboratory of the scientist and avid photographer, as well as a documentary exhibition tracing moments from his life and creative path.
