In 1928, on the occasion of the celebrations of the half-century anniversary of the Liberation of Sofia and the 1000th anniversary of the Golden Age of Bulgarian Literature, the mayor of the city, General Vladimir Vazov, issued an order to establish a special commission to indicate the ways and resources for building a Sofia Municipal Museum. The new museum has three departments – a museum, a library and an archive, and its main goal is to “collect, preserve and study those objects of the material culture of Sofia that have or will have significance for the history of Sofia”. The establishment of a “painting gallery” is an important part of the museum’s activities.
