The museum presents the rich variety in culture and style of life of the population in Varna region from the second half of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century.
One of the most interesting exponents in the museum is the small ancient plough called “dyolmedzha”, used for plowing the soil in the beginning of the 20th century. Vessels for grain storage and bread making are also exposed.
The exposition on the second floor presents traditional national costumes, which give us an idea about the demographic look of the Varna region. The great variety of people’s clothing in the region’s settlements is a result of the complex migration processes that occurred in the early and late 19th century.
Traditional costumes of each of the major geographic groups in the region are presented here – the local population and settlers from the Thrace, Asia Minor and Macedonia. Also included are the traditional costumes for the holidays – namely Christmas, Petlyovden /Rooster`s Day/, and Lazarovden /Lazarus Saturday/.
Information materials and souvenirs are sold in the museum.
