Regional Ethnographic Museum

This beautiful house with its richly decorated Baroque facade once belonged to the rich trader Argir Kuyumdzhioglu. Nowadays it houses Plovdiv's ethnographic museum.The rooms inside are laid out to replicate the living conditions of people from the region - the Rhodope room shows a typical village interior with its basic wooden stool and shaggy rug while the Plovdiv guest room exhibits all the finery that the Plovdiv upper class would have owned. National costumes, musical instruments and traditional crafts such as pottery making and iron working are all on display.
Throughout the year the museum hosts temporary exhibitions, events and concerts of classical and folk music.
Take time to sit down and enjoy the lush greenery and tranquility of the garden and imagine living in this magnificent property.
