Aviomuseum in Bourgas is not to be missed

Back

At the entrance of Bourgas Airport you can find a not so popular attraction - one of the largest airmuseums in the country. It is in close proximity to the Sarafovo district. You can get there by public transport bus, bicycle or private car, ensuring safe and easy access to everything. There you will be able to discover the secrets of the "exhibits that come alive". With virtual reality glasses, you will become a pilot and operate an airplane. Impressive is the interactive exposition under the name Homo Volans, made by stage designer Venelin Shurelov. It is the main indoor exhibition space, located in the only AN-12 aircraft left in Bulgaria. The exhibition revives aviation technique with many curious authentic objects, a rich collection of airplane models, author's objects and costumes, interactive installations and archives from the history of aviation. You can sit at the cockpit of the world's most popular single-engine dual plane planes, feel close to the effect of a working aircraft engine, get a real black box on a plane, and navigation devices designed to complement the experience. The old airplanes at Bourgas Airport have until recently been damped and inaccessible. The idea to become part of an open air air museum has been in existence since 1998, when the first museum of aviation for Burgas was opened. In 2005, the exhibition closed doors and the airplanes remained idle. In 2012, with the task of their preservation, the Municipality of Bourgas and the awake citizens took part, who jointly started the small steps for the restoration of the unique exposition. Over the years, the "Old Plane" exposition has become an attractive place for both locals and tourists who go there from year to year. It established itself as the only airplane exhibit that was part of the BGA Balkan fleet - An-2, An-12, An-14, An-24, Tu-154. Working time: Summer: 9:00. - 20: 00h. Every day In the winter season: 9: 00h. - 17: 00h. From Wednesday to Sunday
