What's new? | Need more optimism?
Dear Friends,

2023 began on a high note for the America for Bulgaria Foundation. Not only did we commence our fifteenth year of work in Bulgaria, but we also celebrated a major milestone in our mission to support economic achievement through STEM education. ABF gifted Children’s Science Center Muzeiko to Bulgaria’s children by entrusting it to the care of Sofia Municipality.

We are proud to have helped create and nurture Muzeiko for the benefit of Bulgaria’s people. Not only does it inspire young and old to probe questions of science and engineering, but it helps to prepare Bulgarian students for 21st-century careers.

Like our other projects that have gone on to lead successful independent lives — projects such as the Bishop’s Basilica of Philippopolis, the Fortissimo Family program, STEM centers at Bulgarian schools through Schools of the Future program, and many others — Muzeiko is an example of our strong commitment to creating opportunities for individuals and entire communities.

As Muzeiko begins a new, bigger chapter in its life, we consider the impact it has had so far and look to its future.

Bon voyage, Muzeiko! You may be a “little museum,” but we are certain you will be doing big things.  


Our anniversary year will feature many more exciting events and opportunities, so make sure you

Muzeiko – An Enduring Legacy

Bulgaria’s “Little Museum” Has an Immense Impact on Learning

Its name may mean “little museum” in Bulgarian, but Muzeiko has had an outsize impact on education and museum programming in the country. For over seven years, Eastern Europe’s largest children’s science center has introduced tens of thousands of children and their families to the fascinating world of science.
