Kotel Natural History museum

The museum spans 1000 square meters and contains 30,000 exhibits representing the flora and fauna of the Eastern Balkan Mountains region.

Local teacher Vasil Georgiev established the museum's foundation through 60 years of methodical collection of natural science specimens from the Kotel area.

The exhibition halls present detailed representations of Bulgarian wildlife, from insects and plants to large mammals, in their natural environment settings.

Located in a building acquired in 1981, the museum organizes its collections into specific sections including paleontology, botany, invertebrates, and vertebrates.

The paleontology section houses over 100 fossil species from the Mesozoic era, including corals, moss, snails, ammonites, and belemnites.
