The Bulgarian Academy of Sciences occupies a stately building that anchors the northern edge of National Assembly Square. Its exterior features a sculptural group by Ivan Shivarov, depicting figures that symbolize science and art. This institution traces its origins to the Bulgarian Learned Society, founded by exiles in eighteen sixty-nine in Brăila, Romania, because Ottoman authorities forbade such activities within Bulgaria at the time.
