If you're visiting Sofia soon you should make a stop at the National History Museum in Sofia. Not only is it one of the largest history museums in the Balkans, it's just opened a display of gold and silver treasures recently unearthed by archaeologists.

With some of the pieces dating back to the third century BC, experts believe that they were probably buried with a priestess who was ritually burned to death. 160 different objects make up the shiny collection that was exhibited for the first time last week. Let us know if you're passing by and get a chance to check it out.
