The Varna Museum of Nature and Science was founded in 1960 to study and make popular the variety of species in the Black sea and along the Black sea coast. The museum display consists of three sections: Geology, Vegetation and Animal kingdom. The first section deals with the formation and structure of the Earth, the origin and development of life on it. There are Mesozoic and Tertiary fossils, representing the fauna during those geological periods. Samples of ores and minerals give idea of the metalliferous and non-metalliferous minerals of North-Eastern Bulgaria. In the second section one can see the basic vegetation groups along the Black sea coast: seaweeds, plants in the salt soil and sand, dense forest, etc. The animal life is represented by vertebrates and invertebrates - from unicellular to mammals. In terms of science the display is organised on the principle of evolution and provokes the discussion about various natural and scientific matters.

There is an accurate topographical representation of the Black Sea outside the Museum in the form of a children's sandpit.
