The establishment of a museum in Nevşehir was brought to life in 1967. The establishment of the museum, the landscaping of the ruins that were neglected years ago, the restoration and conservation of the churches and the cleaning and illumination of the underground cities have come to the agenda. The idea of ​​establishing a museum was put forward by the Central Library Director Hamit Özalp. In 1963-1964, Özalp kept the historical monuments he collected from the environment in a room of the library. The works of Özalp were not inconclusive, and in 1966 the opening of a museum in Nevşehir was decided by the General Directorate of Antiquities and the Museum. As part of the Damat İbrahim Pasha Complex, the Aşevi and Sübyan School were renovated to be used as museums. In 1966, the exhibition and arrangement works were completed and Damat İbrahim Paşa opened its doors to visit the Museum of Archeology and Ethnography.
