Itinerary
The inauguration of the Varna Archaeological Museum and its further development is closely connected with the names of the two brothers Herman and Karel u0160korpil, Czechs by origin, who came to help with the education and culture of their sister Slavonic nation following the Liberation of Bulgaria from the Turkish Yoke. In 1894 they permanently settled in Varna. On 12 December 1901, a group of socially active figures and teachers established the Varna Archaeological Society that for decades since has been the basic motivating power for interest and study in the history of Varna, Varna Region, and Northeast Bulgaria. The inauguration of an archaeological museum was a task of prime importance for the Society.u00a0 nnThe building was originally constructed to be a Girls High School between 1892u20131898 after the design of the famous Bulgarian architect Petko Momchilov.
