The archaeological museum in Burgas has a pretty incredible collection of Thracian and Roman artefacts from the surrounding area, and more likely than not you’ll have the place to yourself if you visit - not once did I see any other visitors at any historical site or museum in Bulgaria - more than a few had to be unlocked for us by the surprised and excited attendant. It’s a shame - Bulgaria has an incredible amount of archaeology and history, and precious few people seem to be interested in it.
From historical preservation, I've been very impressed with the artefacts collected and stored in Bulgaria. When I visit I always make it a point to visit something new. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panagyurishte_Treasure was the last time and it was MAGNIFICENT.
Yes, I saw that in Plovdiv - which is an amazing little city. I love the layers and layers of history there, and all over Bulgaria.
Deultum/Debelt was pretty fascinating - Roman town in the process of being excavated, and you can just wander the ancient streets with a few archaeologists working around the place.
