The Plovdiv Regional Historical Museum (Bulgarian: Регионален исторически музей Пловдив, Regionalen istoricheski muzey Plovdiv) is a historical museum in the city of Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Established in 1951, it covers the history of Plovdiv from the 15th century until today (the older history is presented in the Plovdiv Archaeological Museum). It has three departments, each occupying a separate historic building.

History

The Regional History Museum in Plovdiv was established in 1951 as a research and cultural organization for investigation, study, preservation and display of cultural assets from the past of the city of Plovdiv and its region in the period 15th–20th century.

Expositions

The History Museum in Plovdiv manages four expositions.

• The
  Lady Strangford.^[1]
• The
  Treaty of Berlin of 1878, which split Bulgarian lands into five parts, to the Serbo-Bulgarian War of 1885. The department occupies the former building of the Eastern Rumelian Regional Assembly (Parliament) designed by the Savoy
  architect, Pietro Montani, and built 1883–1885. The exposition was opened in 1985 on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Unification of the Principality of Bulgaria and East Rumelia, an event which has become a national symbol. Five exhibition halls show personal belongings, award tokens, firearms, photos and documents of participants in the unification and the Serbo-Bulgarian War.
• The book-publishing exposition follows the stages of development of publishing during the Bulgarian National Revival and Plovdiv's role as its centre. The department takes up six halls in the house of the noted publisher and enlightener, Hristo G. Danov, from the early 19th century.
• The Museum Centre of Modern History displays art and photographic exhibitions, presentations, seminars and other public events.
