About Elhovo Ethnographic and Archaeological Museum

The Ethnographic and Archaeological Museum in Elhovo was founded in 1958 with an ethnographic collection, at the idea of its first director, Ivan Zhelyazkov. It occupies two connected two-storey buildings of 1933 in the centre of the town.

Its displays show the costumes, crafts and customs of the region between the Strandzha and Sakar mountains, including the fire-dancing rite of nestinari, and archaeological finds from the area.
