Archaeological Museum
Burgas’ small Archaeological Museum houses a collection of local finds ranging from the Stone Age up to the Roman era. Artefacts on show include Neolithic flint tools, a wooden canoe from the 5th century BC, Thracian jewellery and the remarkably well preserved wooden coffin of a Thracian chieftain. A separate room displays recently unearthed discoveries from a Neolithic site and a Roman necropolis outside the city, including pottery, clay idols and silver jewellery.

Natural Science Museum
The Natural Science Museum presents a series of old-fashioned – but still informative – displays on local flora, fauna and geology. Exhibits of rocks, seashells, butterflies and beetles occupy the ground floor, while the basement holds mineral samples from around Bulgaria and the rest of the world. Upstairs there’s a collection of stuffed birds and animals from the locality, including rarer species such as the squacco heron and ferruginous duck.
