Muzeul Deltei Dunării

The Danube Delta Museum in Tulcea, also known as the Danube Delta Ecotourism Museum Centre, is the most important starting point for understanding one of the most valuable wetlands in Europe. Set in the gateway town of the Delta, the museum presents the exceptional richness of this ecosystem through modern exhibitions, dioramas and impressive aquariums that reproduce the habitats of the river, the lakes and the Black Sea. Visitors can admire many fish species, from sturgeons to carp and catfish, as well as reconstructions of marsh life, reed vegetation and the abundant bird fauna, among which the pelicans, the symbol of the Delta. The museum explains the formation of the Delta through the alluvial deposits of the Danube where it meets the sea, and its importance as an internationally protected biosphere reserve.

The collections add information about the traditional life of fishermen and local communities. The visit is an ideal prelude to a boat trip through the Delta's channels. Visitors are advised to check the schedule, which may vary by season.
