The building where the Art Gallery - Dobrich is placed is declared to be an architectural and structural monument of culture. It was built in the period 1933 - 1935 and is interesting as a sample of European influence on architecture - its designers are Italian and Romanian trained. It is located in the center of the city and is an accent in the architectural memory of Dobrich with a dominating role in today's administrative - cultural center of the town. The building is rich of different layers of historical memory: a Court until 1940, a Police station with cells preserved up to our days, a building used by the County Committee of the Communist Party till 1981, an Art Gallery since 1981/1982. The building is two-storeyed at a total area of 3960 sq.m. The art fund has been collected for 40 years - part of it are works of the national image art inheritance (the Golden art fund of Bulgaria including works made by the most famous Bulgarian artists). The Gallery is in possession of over 3000 works - paintings, graphics, sculpture, decorative - plastic arts and works made of hand-made paper. top
