Bulgaria's Thracian treasures would be exhibited in Jacquemart-Andre museum in the French capital Paris, Deputy Culture Minister Ina Kileva said, as quoted by Darik Radio.

The exhibition would consist of about a hundred of Bulgaria's most precious gold and silver Thracian finds, she said. All finds dated back to the fourth century BCE.

Bulgarian archaeologists Nikolai Ovcharov and Georgi Kitov would present the exhibition.

Ovcharov and Kitov separately discovered the major Thracian finds in Bulgaria in the past few years.

The exhibition would be open from October 14 2006 to January 31 2007, Kileva said. The Thracian treasures would leave for Switzerland in February  2007 and from May 2007 would be exhibited in Japan, she said.
