Attractions of Kamchyk

The Ethnographic Museum of Bulgarian Culture "Голямата къща" (from Bulgarian - "big room, living room") is located on the second floor of the House of Culture of the village of Kamchyk.

The museum's exposition is located in three spacious halls and is thematically divided into several sections: a reduced copy of the house of Bulgarian settlers with an internal layout of three rooms, "Bulgarian Weaving", "Land Cultivation and Agricultural Tools", "History of the Resettlement to Kamchyk", "Rites and Traditions of Kamchykans", "Volga and Danube Bulgaria", "Silver Ancient Women's Jewelry", "Money of Bessarabia", "Authentic Clothing - Northern (Northern Costume) and Southern Bulgaria (Rhodope Costume)".

During a tour of the museum, visitors are introduced to the traditions and folk rituals of Kamchych people - the intricacies of weddings, family relations between daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law, the peculiarities of respectful treatment of men as heads of families, preparation of inheritance for girls, etc.

Organized tourist groups are met with a Hayda (a Bulgarian musical folk instrument), a tasting of traditional Bulgarian cuisine and a master class on the Bulgarian folk dance "Horo".

In addition, in the museum, the collectives of the House of Culture show seasonal Bulgarian folk rituals for guests.

In 2020, the "Голямата къща" museum was included in the Program of Activities within the framework of the implementation of the UNESCO Convention "For the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage".
