Museum of popular customs in Sliven
in 19thC and the beginning of 20thC /page 3/
The yard has a latch, through which it is connected
with the Arnautkina house. An exhibition was arranged
there in 1970. It shows the European influence on
the way of life of the people in Sliven at the beginning
of 20thC.
With its strict architecture and space composition,
its rich wood carving on the verandahs, its exquisitely
lathe-turned lattice banisters, its octagonal columns,
its wood carved ceilings, practical built-in cupboards,
its hem-stitched niches for cutlery, its richly decorated
icon stand, the house is a real proof of independence
and imposing appearance and it is one of the masterpieces
of the Bulgarian architecture of the Revival period.
The large cobbled yard, the flower garden and the
shed with different agricultural tools contribute
to the overall architecture of the ethnographic complex
- a real proof of the unique building genius of Bulgarian
people, their inexhaustible spirit and great cultural
progress.
