Retro Museum Varna
Ретро музей
A recreation of everyday life in socialist-era Bulgaria inside a large shopping mall, with a rich collection of cars, appliances and everyday objects.
The museum is inside the Grand Mall shopping centre. Its collection includes dozens of old Soviet and Eastern European cars, Zhivkov's official car, vintage appliances, toys, computers and grocery store displays. It recreates streets and living rooms from the mid-to-late 20th century and includes many wax figures. Admission is about €8, and a visit takes about 1 hour. On TripAdvisor, it is one of the highest-rated indoor attractions in Varna, and it suits rainy days or visits with children.
