been roughly arranged and opened to visit in 1923. When it is understood that the development of the museum was impossible in the high school building, a suitable place has been looked for in the city and the museum and its works have been transferred to Gökmedrese in 1927 for the purpose of evaluating the old works in the province center. The museum could be handled in a systematic way only after that time. Meanwhile, a part of the works have been sent to Ankara and a part of them have been given to the Museum - House, where ethnographic works existed. In 1951, the works given to the Ethnography Museum have been taken back, and some other works have been collected from the surroundings. Until 1968, the museum has carried out its function in Gökmedrese and has been moved to Buriciye Madrasa in the same year.
On November 1st 1983, Sivas Museum has been moved to the high school building, where the historical congress has been held on September 4th 1919, and Buriciye Madrasa has been repaired in order to be used as Archeology and Stone Works Museum.

The building, where Sivas Congress has been held, has been thought by the Governor Sırrı Pasha in 1880s and its first bases have been laid in those years, then Governor Memduh Pasha has changed the location of the first base with its current form and has opened to service in 1892 with the name "Mülki İdadi".
After that, the building has been used as Sultani and has been named as "Sivas High School" in 1924. The building, which has been used as a high school until 1981, has taken its last for as a museum in 1983. While ethnographic works are exhibited in the 1st floor of the 3 - floored building, the exhibition of information and documents relating to Atatürk - Sivas Congress and National Struggle is made in the 2nd floor.
The repair works are being continued in Buriciye Madrasa and Akaylar Mansion, which are units connected to Sivas Museum.

One of the museums connected to the Museum directorate is Aşık Veysel museum. Ministry of Culture has nationalized a house in Sivrialan Village of Şarkışla District of Sivas in 1979 and converted it into a museum and opened it to visit on March 21st 1982. In this museum, goods used by Aşık Veysel, regional weavings and photographs are exhibited.
In the registers of Sivas Museum Directorate as of the end of 1997, there are 2857 ethnographic works, 4621 coins, 1965 archeological works, 50 nail - written slabs, 215 seals and seal prints, 182 hand - written books, being 9890 in total.
