Regional Ethnographic Museum
Регионален етнографски музей
A museum housed in the Kuyumdzhioglu House. Its deep blue baroque revival facade is the most photogenic revival building in the Old Town.
The Kuyumdzhioglu House was built in 1847. Its deep blue facade with wavy gables and symmetrical garden is a leading example of Plovdiv's Revival architecture, and it often appears in city promotional photos. Inside, the museum displays folk costumes, handicrafts, musical instruments, rose oil distillation tools and furnishings from wealthy merchants' homes from the Thracian region. Admission costs a few euros. The museum is closed on Mondays, and the best photos of the facade are taken from the garden.
Opening hours
