The whole life from the time of socialism enlives in a new museum. In 2015, on the Labour Day - May 1, in Varna opens doors officially an unique for Bulgaria "Retro Museum". The museum includes exhibits from the period 1944-1989, which are telling in artifacts how Bulgarians lived under socialism. Bulgarian cigarettes without filter, Russian vacuum cleaners, household from East Germany, Polish cosmetics and most desirable cars produced in the former Comecon turn back the time machine.

For a blast from the not too distant past, Varna’s Retro Museum sheds light on the city during socialist times. The museum is set in the Grand Mall and has curated pretty much every aspect of daily living from the 20th century that you could care to think of. There are Bulgarian cigarettes, kitchen utensils, vacuum cleaners and cosmetics. These are next to wax figures of the most prominent public figures, like the singer Emil Dimitrov, and of course Todor Zhivkov, the head of state throughout this time. The marquee attraction here though is the collection of 50 cars, with boxy Skodas, Trabants and Volgas, plus a Chaika limo that transported Politburo members.
