A Museum of Roses – the only one of its kind in the world – was officially opened to the public in Kazanluk.

The museum exposition includes documents and artifacts connected with rose growing and production in Bulgaria. The official ceremony was attended by Prime Minister Boyko Borissov, cabinet ministers and ambassadors to Bulgaria from a dozen countries. 

"The Valley of Roses was visited by 220,000 in 2015 and we hope this year the numbers will be even higher," said Minister of Tourism Nikolina Angelkova during the Festival of Roses. The Festival ends in Kazanluk today with a carnival procession in the town centre.
