The exhibition "The Buckles – a Universe of Signs" by the Ruse Regional Museum of History is visiting Burgas. The exposition, which will be opened today at 5:30 pm at the Ethnographic Museum on 69 Slavyanska Street, features over thirty samples of this art. The buckles are part of traditional attire and, like everything in the system of folk culture, have their specific role and significance. Their value is determined by the metal they are made from – gold, silver, copper, brass. Their true essence lies in their role as a belt that not only protects but also tells stories about the way our ancestors perceived the world. Buckles are also a sign of social status – unmarried women are not allowed to wear this ornament.

The exhibition will be on display in the coastal city of Burgas until October 31, 2024.
