In 2007, the Culture Department fulfilled their idea for an exhibition of artistic photographs outdoors, by placing exhibition fixtures in the City Garden and creating a kind of `outdoor gallery`. The idea of outdoor exhibitions provoked great interest both in the audience and among the organizers of cultural events. Today, the open-air galleries of Sofia Municipality are already at three locations: the Lovers Bridge at the National Palace of Culture, the City Garden and Crystal Garden. The establishment of these outdoor exhibition spaces allows residents and guests of Sofia to get familiar with interesting projects. There are held: thematic exhibitions, historical and archaeological; exhibitions displaying the culture and lifestyle of different countries; social campaigns.
