About this audio guide
This guide to Muzeiko in Sofia starts with a single panel of its facade, where Bulgarian embroidery, glazed ceramics and wood carving have been scaled up onto angular forms nicknamed the little mountains. It follows an American foundation, a New York design studio and a plain university laboratory building in Studentski Grad, and the idea of stacking past, present and future on three floors. Best heard standing outside, close enough to touch the patterned facing.
