Nesebar Archaeological Museum, Archaeological museum in Nesebar, Bulgaria.
The Nesebar Archaeological Museum is housed in a dedicated building and presents findings from the region's history across four exhibition halls. The displays feature objects recovered from local excavations, spanning multiple periods of settlement and habitation.
The museum was established in 1956 inside Saint John the Baptist Church before moving to a new building in 1994. This relocation allowed the institution to expand its exhibition space and properly showcase the growing collection of local finds.
The museum displays objects from multiple civilizations that once inhabited this region, including Thracians, Greeks, Romans, and Byzantines, each leaving distinct traces. Visitors can see ancient coins, pottery, and stone carvings that reveal how life changed across different periods of settlement and rule.
The museum is centrally located in Nesebar near other historical monuments and easily accessible on foot. Visitors should check opening hours before visiting, as times can vary depending on the season.
The museum safeguards the official certificate recognizing Nesebar as a World Cultural Heritage site, awarded in Florence in 1983. This document serves as a tangible reminder of the city's international cultural significance.
