REGIONAL ETHNOGRAPHIC MUSEUM – PLOVDIV

The main hall of the Ethnographic Museum will be transformed into a retro hair salon run by talented students from the Anna Mai High School. You can choose between such hair styles as medieval plaits or buns dating back to the Bulgarian Revival period. Panels with photographs and text will help you learn about the ways of hairdressers and barbers through the ages, as well as various tools and cosmetics, such as the great-grandmother of the hair iron, and the first perfumes, ointments and creams.

The exhibition traces the development of formal dress from the late Middle Ages (13th–14th c.) to the Bulgarian Revival of the 19th century, examining the similarities and differences in clothing, accessories and ornaments. Discover the color schemes of different historic periods and regions, which are indicative of ethnic, social and generational status. Witness the changes in costume design resulting from migration between one ethnographic region to another, etc.
