To get acquainted with the historic heritage of the region, donβt forget to visit the Archaeological Museum. The oldest museum in the city is dedicated to the history and development of Burgas, some neighbor towns, and ancient towns that once existed in the country. The museum was established in 1912 as a private museum of the Debelt Archaeological Society. Nowadays, the exhibition is divided into four large expositions. Visitors will see precious findings from the sites of ancient Greek colonies, Thrace, and the Roman Empire.
There is one more interesting museum just next to the St. Cyril and Methodius Cathedral. The Ethnographic Museum is open in an old mansion that was built in 1873. The museum is divided into several parts. The foyer is used for all kinds of temporary exhibitions. The first floor is dedicated to the lifestyle and interior design of traditional Bulgarian houses in the 19th century. There is also an exhibition about female fashion of that period. However, tourists usually prefer to stay longer on the second floor of the building that is dedicated to traditional costumes of different ethnic groups that once lived in the Burgas area. There are unique costumes and accessories for different purposes, ritual dresses, authentic wedding clothes, and much more.
