The origins of Dolenjska Museum may be traced back to the celebrations of the 500th anniversary of Novo Mesto in 1865, when the first collection was established. A Museum Society was founded here in January 1941 and revived after World War II. The Regional Museum of Dolenjska was set up in March 1950 and the first permanent collections were put on display in 1953. Today the museum encompasses a total of five buildings, holding five permanent collections (archaeological, ethnological, recent history, art and education). The museum keeps over 22,000 historical objects, 3,000 of them displayed in permanent collections. It also presents changing exhibitions on historical and artistic themes, and undertakes research, publishing and exhibition activity, as well as systematic educational work.

The museum manages two satellites - Camp Baza 20 Memorial Site and Jakac House.
