Varna Aquarium, Public aquarium in Sea Garden, Varna, Bulgaria
The white building displays more than 140 different fish species from the Black Sea, Mediterranean waters, and freshwater environments in multiple large tanks.
Prince Ferdinand I initiated the aquarium construction in 1906, but due to the Balkan Wars and World War I, it opened in 1932 under Tsar Boris III.
The Institute for Fish Resources within the facility employs 12 scientists conducting research in hydrobiology, ichthyology, and marine microbiology fields.
The facility remains open from 9:00 to 19:00 during summer months and 9:00 to 17:00 in winter, with entrance fees ranging between 1 to 4 Bulgarian Lev.
The aquarium building contains a specialized library of 30,000 volumes, including rare marine biology books dating back to the 19th century.
