The people of Burgas with increasing interest for the Night of Museums

Nearly 9,000 visitors welcomed the expositions of the Burgas Museum and the Art Gallery during the European Museum Night - May 18th. The citizens of Burgas were in a long queue, reaching the intersection of Bogoridi and Fotinov streets, to see the exhibitions "The memory of Great Bulgaria" and "The Thracian gold treasure of Valchitron" in the "Treasure Hall" of the Archaeological Museum. For all who want to see them again or couldn't to enter in the Night of the Museums, the treasures will remain in Burgas to the end of September this year.



Due to the interest in restoration demonstrations, the Burgas Museum will organize a special day in which visitors will be able to learn more about this part of the work with exhibits. An embroidery course will be part of the accompanying program of the exhibition "You will recognize them by the embroidery" during the summer season at the Ethnographic Museum.

On Saturday night, the Historical Museum collected funds for the restoration of two icons. Hours before the start of the event, Stoyan Karanenov from Bulgarien Direct Reisen - Hotel Primoretz, declared his desire to donate funds for the restoration of the icon of St. Dimitar. It is one of the eight icons in need of urgent restoration and conservation in the collection of RHM-Burgas. The fundraising campaign continues and anyone willing to donate can get additional information by calling 00359 56 841 815.

From June 1st, the four expositions of the Regional historical museum - Burgas will be open with summer working time - every day from 10:00 to 19:00.
