100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BIRTH OF STEFAN FARTUNOV

Exhibition in the Park of Humor

Opening: 29 April 2026, 5:00 PM

The history of Gabrovo is a complex puzzle of events, places, and buildings, shaped by individuals of strong vision.

Among them the remarkable figure of Stefan Fartunov stands out — a man who devoted his energy and time to a bold dream: to establish and develop an institution dedicated to laughter, known as the House of Humor and Satire.

With clarity of vision and unwavering dedication, he transformed Gabrovo’s humorous tradition into a world-renowned centre that brings together artists and creators around a universal human quality — laughter.

We invite you to the opening of an exhibition dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of Stefan Fartunov – creator, organizer and first director of the Museum “House of Humor and Satire”.


The exhibition is realised in partnership with the State Archives – Gabrovo.

Special thanks for their support to the Municipality of Gabrovo and the Municipal Enterprise “Urban Development”
