Constanta Museum of National History, heritage site in Constanța County, Romania
The Constanta Museum of National History is a history museum in Romania that shows the past of the coastal region. The three-floor building displays archaeological finds from different periods, ranging from ancient times to the present day.
The museum was founded in 1879 to stop ancient objects from archaeological sites from being taken away illegally. The founder worked to preserve the region's history for public knowledge.
The collection shows how different peoples lived and worked along this coast over centuries. Greek pottery, Roman stone carvings, and medieval objects reveal the mix of cultures that shaped life in this seaside region.
The museum sits on the main square of the city and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors using wheelchairs can access all areas, and opening hours fall mainly in the afternoon and early morning.
The museum keeps the statue of the Glykon snake, a famous depiction that was worshipped by many people in ancient times. This sculpture is a rare example of how people then expressed religion and faith.
