Humour at the Humour Museum in Gabrovo, Bulgaria


Don Quixote statue. Museum of Humour. Gabrovo. Bulgaria.

Humour is featured in the Museum of Humour and Satire and the whole city's culture. They were known for their business skill, bargaining ability and mean-ness, like the cities of Aberdeen in Scotland, and made a feature of jokes, such as the one about Gabrovoans cutting off the tails of their cats in order to shut the door quicker and keep in the heat. (Gabrovo is known for walking in sunny summer and skiing in winter snow.)

The cat is the symbol of the town and appears on their brochures. They have a statue of the cat without a tail.

The museum also features Charlie Chaplin.
