Archaeology Museum


Occupying a purpose-built, neoclassical edifice in the historical heart of the city, this half-renovated museum contains a fairly rich collection of archaeological finds, both sculpture and gold, from ancient Greek colonies in the northern Black Sea region and Skythian burial mounds. A separate hall in the underground floor displays Egyptian artefacts and mummies. There are signs in English.
