The main museum of the city, about 200 km from Sofia, is the Humor and Satire. Every two years, in spring, the Festival also happens Humor and Satire, which attracts comedians from various countries.
The creation of the museum and the festival took place when the country was ruled by Communists. Bulgaria was part of so-called Iron Curtain and the idea was to show a more open country and that it accepted the irreverence.
