On his blog, "Bulgaria: reviews of holiday, tourist experience, personal experience," I try to talk about a very curious town - Varna. This city has many places that could interest tourists and, of course, one of the most interesting - the Varna Archaeological Museum. The museum is housed in a former Maiden High School in an area of 2000 square meters, close to the mayor's office in Varna. The museum has 32 rooms, which are permanent exhibitions: prehistory, Antiquity, Middle Ages and Renaissance icons. The museum has a unique collection of stone tombstones with reliefs (2000 years BC). In 1972, a lucky break gave the museum the priceless gifts. Digging a ditch for electric cable in the western part of Varna, the excavator found in the ground, poured from a ladle, a few gold objects and fragments of pottery, and soon the archaeologists began excavations, and the world treasury replenished unique cultural monument. The excavation lasted a long time, but the results exceeded all expectations. Burial was discovered which belonged to an unknown until the prehistoric settlement, the amount of gold in the graves were very impressive, in some total weight exceeded pounds.
