The Archaeological Museum of Nessebar is located near the ruins of the old city wall, on Mesembria Street. It was opened in 1994. Exhibits, featuring artefacts from different eras of Nessebar's development, are displayed in four halls and a foyer. Here you can also see the UNESCO diploma, which confirms that the town has been considered a world heritage site since 1984..
The first hall of the museum contains exhibits related to Mesembria (old Nessebar) and Thrace. There are many anchors (the town used to be a very important transport hub), ancient Greek silver coins - tetradrachms, as well as an extremely important decree associated with the name of the Thracian king Sadal.
In the second hall of the museum guests are offered to get acquainted with ancient religious culture and mythology. There are religious and funerary sculptures, marble sacrificial tablets, bronze vessels and much more. In the third hall visitors can continue their acquaintance with the history of the city, and in the fourth - to admire the painting (there are a variety of icons and paintings).
The collection of the museum's exhibits is constantly being replenished - after all, archaeological excavations are going on almost constantly in this ancient city..
