The Historical-Folklore and Natural History Museum is located in the city centre of Kozani and is comprised of the following thematic categories:

Natural History Exhibition ((from the Palaeolithic era until recent years), Archaeological-Byzantine Exhibition (from 7000 B.C. to 1453 AD), Historical Exhibition (from 1453 to 1944), Folklore Exhibition , which is considered the most important one (from 1640 to 1960), Art Gallery of recent years, Stamp Collection (1861-2004) and Radio Collection (1930-1960).

The first historical – folklore collection was established at the end of 1968 to the beginning of 1969 and it was housed at times in various rented, small shops around the city. From 1975 to 1984, it was housed in a building of the Charitable Sisterhood of Kozani. In 1979, the Natural History Museum was founded in the aforementioned building. In this first exhibition, the historical department held the whole history of Kozani.

The Museum was founded in order to preserve the cultural heritage of the country through the recording and collecting of objects with the education of visitors as the ultimate goal.
