Regional Historical Museum, Regional history museum in Pazardzhik, Bulgaria

The Regional Historical Museum occupies a purpose-built exhibition hall of 1,200 m² at 15 Konstantin Velichkov Square. Its departments cover archaeology, 15th–19th-century Bulgarian history, ethnography, modern and contemporary history, plus a scientific archive. The ethnographic display is housed separately in an 1850 Revival house built by Dimitar Boyanin for merchant Nikola Hristovich.

The museum was established on 11 May 1911 by a decision of the board of the Videlina Community Centre, and it opened officially on 13 December 1911. Its first collections came from Stefan Zahariev, who gathered coins, manuscripts and documents from 113 settlements. In 2000 it became the Regional Historical Museum for Pazardzhik Province.

The ethnographic display occupies the 1850 house of merchant Nikola Hristovich, built by master Dimitar Boyanin of Bratsigovo. Its 15 collections cover urban life, clothing, craft tools, farm and woodworking equipment, architectural details and folk instruments. A folklore hall shows 19 instruments typical of the Pazardzhik area.

The museum is accessible on weekdays and offers both regular visiting hours and special time slots for different groups. It is best to check in advance about opening times, as schedules can vary depending on the day and season.

The lapidarium holds stone finds left out of the indoor displays: statues, road columns, altars and cult figures, plus architectural bases, capitals, columns and architraves. Among the marble pieces are copies of 12th–13th-century icons of Saints Peter and Paul found at the Tsepina fortress in 1879; the originals are in the Hermitage in Saint Petersburg.
