Salt museum – Pomorie

The salt museum in Pomorie is the only one in Bulgaria and Eastern Europe specialized in salt production through solar evaporation of sea water. It is among the unique museums in Bulgaria and is included in the 100 national tourist sites. The museum presents the ancient Anchial /Pomorian/ technology for producing sea salt. It consists of two inseparable components: an external and an internal part. It has a unique collection of photographs from the beginning of the last century, tracing the development of salt mining in the area, old topographic maps, models and authentic salt mining equipment and tools. The museum's salt pans produce salt in the same way as it was done in ancient times. During the summer season, visitors can see all technological operations "live" and feel the authentic atmosphere of the past.
