Abstract: The paper reviews the process of rediscovering and redefining the nation’s cultural heritage by presenting it in a new institutional and conceptual framework as one of the distinctive features of the Bulgarian postsocialist transition. These larger trends are investigated through the example of the Archaeological museum in Plovdiv, thoroughly renovated and modernized over the past decade. The history of the museum is a fine illustration of the shift in the state cultural policies – now mainly focused on re-establishing the networks of cultural institutions and archaeological sites with a potential to attract international tourists.
Key words: Nation’s Cultural Heritage, Archeological Museum, Bulgarian Postsocialist Transition.
