History
NBU was established on 18 September 1991 by Bogdan Bogdanov and a group of Bulgarian intellectuals with a resolution by Bulgarian Parliament. The main goal was creating an institution to modernise Bulgarian higher education yet preserve its traditions. 2,500 students were welcomed during the first year; a test of general education was introduced in 1995 and established as a uniform standard for the reception of students in 1996.
NBU educational museum was founded on April 23, 2010. The first exhibition was “Museum Network Resources”. It was the final stage of the project "Educational Museum at New Bulgarian University”. The project was funded by the National Fund for Research at the Ministry of Education, Youth and Science, the Cultural Heritage (study on national historic and culture legacy as a part of European culture heritage and advanced methods for preserving).
