The museum reflects the rich material and cultural heritage of the local population during the second half of the XIX and the beginning of the XX century - catering, crafts, clothes, jewellery, ritual bread, "survachki" (special colour folded sticks, decorated with pop-corns, candies, ribbons, used by children on the first day of the New Year to tap neighbours on the back, wishing them good health, happiness, success in the new year)...

The national customs - Christmas, Kamili(Camels), Petlyovden (Cock's day), Lazaruvane, wedding are presented in a rather interesting way. A special corner is preserved for a luxurious city home from the end of the XIX and the beginning of the XX century - a vestibule, drawing room, bedroom, kitchen. The amazing tour ends with a story about the commercial life of old Varna and a panoramic view of the town. The Ethnographic museum is a perfect place for temporary topical exhibitions.
