Permanent Exhibition of Dimitar Kirov

Plovdiv


Housed in a grand old-town mansion where Plovdiv's budding artists worked in the 1960s, this special place celebrates the life and works of Dimitar Kirov, who died in 2008. Arguably Plovdiv's most original artist, Kirov produced work marked by bold and vivid uses of colour, from mosaics to abstracts.
