According to one study, people are happiest at 53: it is assumed that they have achieved what they wanted, the children have grown up and they have time for themselves.
According to another, up to this age you are young, once you pass it you are already settled, calm and wise.
53 is a rather interesting number – it’s after 50 (aiming for 100), natural… – there are many more characteristics with which to describe and define it.
For us, its most important value is that this year the Museum of Humor and Satire reached it. We don’t know if the research also applies to museums, but since they, like any institution, are composed of people as their most integral parts, we think that it cannot but affect everyone connected with it.
The Museum of Humor and Satire invites you to its 53rd birthday and we hope to fill you with a lot of happiness, youth, freshness and interesting experiences in the early spring!
We hope that the Day of Joke and Lie in our country – a lie not as not telling the truth, but as an opportunity for fantasy, mood and changing roles for at least one day a year – will make you feel different, learn new things and have real fun.
Come visit us on our Open Day!

On April 1, 2025, the Museum of Humor and Satire will go beyond the borders of Gabrovo.
We will be visiting the Peter Stupov Regional Library in Targovishte with Masters of Bulgarian Cartoons from the 20th and 21st Centuries – a representative exhibition from our collection!
Masters of Bulgarian Cartoons from the 20th and 21st Centuries presents the audience with works by both classics in the genre and contemporary authors, known as winners of a number of prestigious international awards. The topics range from social and political irony to funny moments from everyday life, and all the works impress with masterful drawing and a subtle sense of humor.
But that’s not all! We will also virtually join the Sea Crabs Humor and Satire Club – part of the Burgas Writers’ Community. With a special video message, we will join their program to celebrate April Fool’s Day.
