The Varna Archeological Museum is hosting a special exposition of nine selected Tracian treasures. These come from six large museums and reveal the culture and arts of the ancient people who had inhabited the lands of present-day Bulgaria since the times of the Aeneolithic age until the dawning of the Roman Empire (4400 BC - 3rd Century AD). Most of these magnificent objects are made of gold or silver and proudly ranked among the masterpieces of the world cultural and historical heritage. Some of these have been found to be deeply buried like genuine treasures are; others have been discovered during excavation works by prominent Bulgarian archeologists for the last 80 years all over the country. Welcome and enjoy the glamour of the most famous ancient monuments of art found in Bulgaria.
