The Museum exhibits have been acquired and the collections enriched over the past 112 years making it one of the oldest in Bulgaria. The collections of paintings and graphics keep the early works of some of the most outstanding Bulgarian artists, the ethnographic collections possess folklore textile, embroideries, belt clasps, metal and church utensils of the 19 c., woodcarving and graphic prints dating the Renaissance. Nowadays the collection is constantly enriched as well.

During 2008 the Museum collection was enriched through the extremely valuable donation by the National Bulgarian Film Archive consisting of twenty-six prints of published film posters.

In 2007-2008 the Museum at the National Academy of Art displayed its unique collection of “sokay” embroidery - The Magical Power of the Bulgarian Embroidery Exhibition – framed, artistically arranged and set up at Academia Gallery. In this relation the first scientific catalogue for the collection was published since the setting up of the Museum. Thus a start was given to a series of catalogues titled The Museum Collection of the National Academy of Art. Their aim is to gradually catalogue the whole scientific interpretation of the works and objects of art owned by the National Academy of Art.

June 2008 issue of the prestigues international electronic ICOM “Newsletter” magazine published article and photos for the activity of the museum.
