It is a bit hidden and located in an unusual area of София, but once you’ve found the National Polytechnic Museum you can enjoy strolling through the small exhibition of ancient and modern technologies. The museum was founded in 1957 and owns 22,000 exhibits – but only a small fraction (1,000 pieces) can be shown. While taking the tour you’re slowly advancing through the history of mankind; starting with mills and glass production, ending with smartphones and wearable devices.
I enjoy being at places like this because your own life continuously becomes part of exhibitions like these. The National Polytechnic Museum shows the first home computers, gaming consoles, home video systems. I’ve also discovered my first Palm V handheld in the exhibition and also the famous Timex watch that transferred data from a PC by showing patterns on the PC screen. Feels like I’ve become really old. 😉
