There are thousands of exhibits, but little labeling in English.
There are a few posters presumably advising how the crystals were formed and where on earth they can be found however none of these are in English - a shame.

This is a much underrated museum which has one of the finest collections of minerals and a great display of giant crystals. If geology and natural sciences is on your list of interests this is well worth a visit.

To be called the earth and man museum, is a bit misleading... It is all earth.. Fantastic collection of stones, minerals, crystals, gems, what they make from them, well displayed and laid out. On the ground floor, some of them must weigh a ton.....There was work going on here when we visited, so could not fully appreciate the floor display. Only £2 to get in...

From the name you would assume that this museum is something to do with the universe.In fact it is a museum of minerologyThere are hundreds of exhibits of different minerals with a minimum of explanation.the building was constructed in the 19th century.It doesnt look as if much was done to the building since it was built.There are a few english descriptions but not many.the displays are very unimginatvely exhibited.The place seems to be in a time warp.Not surprisingly in a vast museum i was often on my own.The entrance fee was low 4Levs but then so was my level of enjoyment.It is located a few hundred yards from the Hilton.

We stumbled on the museum while walking by. Our younger child loves minerals and rocks so it was a great treat. The teenagers also enjoyed walking around. The museum is fairly small, two floors, but offers a large variety of stones. There is also a kids room
doe younger kids. Staff was very pleasant. Nice little gift shop. We were alone there which was also quite nice. Recommended if you are in the area.

Impressive and breathtaking collection of giant crystals from around the world. the exhibitions on the second floor was very interesting and so beautiful to view all the different rocks, gemstones and crystals - such amazing things that were created by nature.
on the first floor, in an area to the left side there are some demonstrations and guidance for kids (unfortunately not in english, but still we enjoyed it)

I have to admit that was the most surprising museum I've ever been to. I was expecting Crystals/gemstones/rocks display but I was about to be amazed. The first crystal you see walking in is a Smokey Quartz at whopping 545kg!!! And it just gets better and better. The 1st fl. (2 total) is full of giant unique, rare unbelievably detailed gorgeous crystals. If you love crystals plan for at least 4 hours to really soak it all in and enjoy the many many display boxes. It is a true must if you're in the area and it's right behind the NDK and Vitosha Blvd. So you can make a fun day out of it. A ticket is 6BGN, the staff is fantastic very friendly, the shop is rather small and a bit disappointing but if you take the time you might find the perfect crystals for you ☺.

Fantastic exhibition of rocks and minerals - probably one of the best I’ve seen as a collection. Mostly in Bulgarian but a few of the explanations are in English and if you have a basic knowledge you can figure the rest out anyway. If you are at all interested in gems, minerals or geology this is a must visit museum. It certainly is a hidden gem.

After crossing the foot-bridge and as we approached the impressive building we wondered whether it was custom built.
So it was fascinating to learn that it began life in the late 19th century as part of an arsenal complex. After some further iterations, it was re-purposed for its present role and opened in mid-1987.
Beginning with the impressive giant crystals from Brazil, it was interesting strolling throughout the many displays, admiring the myriad of splendid stones.
In many colours, degrees of brightness and origin, it comprises an important and vast repository of the earth's wonders.
