Sozopol Ethnographic Museum
"Kurtidi House", which houses the Ethnographic Museum, is a cultural monument from the end of the 19th century. The yard overlooks the sea and has an authentic look for the Old Town - porches and sheds, under which a weaving loom, wine barrels, vats for crushing grapes, agricultural implements, a miner, household implements and even a boat are displayed. In the halls of the museum, the coziness of the former Sozopol village has been recreated and traditional craft tools related to the main livelihood of the population - fishing, agriculture, cattle breeding - are exhibited. Over 300 exhibits donated by patriotic local associations and citizens can be seen in the permanent exhibition. Costumes, beautiful tablecloths, ornate embroideries and traditional women's ornaments, colorful aprons and patterned rugs dating from the 18th-19th century are part of the multiflora that contrasts with the weather-darkened floors and ceilings. On the second floor, there are separate exhibition modules with artifacts related to the urban way of life and culture of fellow citizens from the end of the 19th century to the 60s of the 20th century. During the summer season, the museum organizes folklore festivals, reenactments of characteristic customs and numerous thematic exhibitions.
