Hoone on ehitatud 1780. aastal, kuid info arhitekti kohta meil puudub. Hoone algusaastatel oli seal Vana apteek, millest hiljem kujunes välja muuseum.
Viljandi muuseumi algusaastaks loetakse 1878.aastat, mil Theodor Schiemanni ja Friedrich von Ditmari rahalisel toel alustati arheoloogilisi kaevamistöid ordulinnuse varemeis. Leiud pandi sellesse hoonesse ning nendest tehti näitus ja nii sai hoonest muuseum.
Viljandi muuseum on maakonnamuuseum, mille põhiülesandeks on linna ja maakonna alade ajalugu, kultuuri ja eluolu kajastava ainestiku kogumine, säilitamine, uurimine ja eksponeerimine.
Hetkel tutvustab muuseum inimese elu ja loodust kuni 20. sajandini.
