Etnographic museum, Ethnographic museum in Varna, Bulgaria

The Ethnographic Museum in Varna occupies a National Revival house built around 1860. Its exhibition, arranged by architect Kamen Goranov, artist Asen Stoychev and ethnographers Maria Nikolova and Georgi Valkov, fills two floors: tools of farming, herding, beekeeping, fishing and viticulture below, regional folk costumes above. Look for the dolmedzha plough, conical willow-and-clay hives and the shepherd's yamurluk cloak.

The museum occupies a National Revival house built around 1860. The exhibition was designed by architect Kamen Goranov, artist Asen Stoychev and ethnographers Maria Nikolova and Georgi Valkov. It presents the culture and daily life of the Varna region from the second half of the 19th to the early 20th century.

The display shows regional clothes from people who came from Thrace, Asia Minor, and Macedonia. These garments tell the story of the communities who made their homes here and kept their traditions alive.

The location is easy to reach and staff can help you understand the displays. It makes sense to bring time to look at the different objects carefully and learn more about daily life from back then.

The small plough called dyolmedzha was used for tilling in the Varna region until the early 20th century. It is one of the objects in the museum's display of farming, herding, beekeeping, fishing and viticulture, arranged by architect Kamen Goranov, artist Asen Stoychev and ethnographers Maria Nikolova and Georgi Valkov.
