6. Muzeiko - a podcast by Ian Elsner

Until Muzeiko opened in Sofia, Bulgaria on October 1st 2015, there were no children’s museums in the Balkans. 

One of the reasons for the lack of children’s museums was a cultural attitude towards childhood education during communist times, according to Vessela Gercheva, the Programs and Exhibits Director for Muzeiko.

In this episode, Museum of Museums visits Muzeiko to find a shifting attitude towards children's education.
