Ethnographic Museum (Moskoyani House)
Етнографски музей
An ethnographic museum housed in a 19th-century merchant's wooden house, showcasing traditional Black Sea dwellings, costumes, and daily life.
The Ethnographic Museum occupies the Moskoyani House, a merchant's residence built in 1840 in the southern part of the old town. It is a typical Black Sea–style house, with a stone ground floor, a wooden upper story that overhangs the street, a carved wooden ceiling, and an inner courtyard. The museum displays traditional costumes, embroidery, jewelry, furniture, and wedding items from Nessebar and the surrounding region. It has also recreated a 19th-century living room and kitchen, giving a direct look at the interior structure of the old town's wooden houses. The museum is small; a visit takes about 20–30 minutes, and a small admission fee applies.
