246. More Modern at the National Gallery

Another visit to the National Art Gallery to continue my exploration of Modern 20th Century Bulgarian art ... this time it's to the purpose built annex at the rear of  the Square 500 Gallery.
 

This very imposing building housing dozens of small galleries over three floors was opened in 2015 to house more of the Gallery's modern art collection. Also in a basement gallery is a superb collection of ancient  Indian and Burmese and Indonesian religious artifacts ...
