The Best Museums In Varna Bulgaria

Varna, informally known as the seaside capital of Bulgaria, has a perfect mixture of scenic coastal views, cultural life, and youthful atmosphere to make a perfect trip. As the past defines the present, start your visit with some of the best museums in the city to better understand it today.

1. The Archaeological Museum

Museum

History buffs will love this museum, as it holds archaeological exhibits from as early as 100,000 BC (the Paleolithic Age). The most amazing among these are the objects found at the Varna Necropolis during excavation work back in 1972. The Necropolis is considered a milestone in understanding the development of human culture, with nearly 300 tombs discovered so far, and the earliest gold treasure known to scientists being among the items found there – now exhibited at the Archaeological Museum in Varna.

Drazki Ship Museum and Naval Museum

Drazki was a torpedo boat built in 1908, used by the Bulgarian Navy in the Balkan war and the two World Wars. It was turned into a museum in 1957 and today is part of the Naval Museum, where you can also see arms, documents, cannons, and torpedoes from various periods of Bulgarian military history. The museum and the ship are both located in the Sea Garden.
