Lions' Bridge is a bridge over the Vladaya River in the centre of Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, built 1889–1891 by Czech architect Václav Prošek, his brother Jozef and his cousins Bohdan and Jiří. It gives the name to the important and busy junction of Marie Louise Boulevard and Slivnitsa Boulevard, at which it is located, connecting the Central Railway Station with the city centre and marking its northern border.

After the Soviet Union fell and Bulgaria moved on from communism, much of the country's communist artwork was eventually collected here. Outside the museum (and free to access) is a small park crammed with statues of notable communists, with every flavor of Lenin.
