What to expect

The Museum of the City of Skopje is a complex city museum that focuses on the development of Skopje, the capital of North Macedonia, from its origins to the modern era. The museum is home to permanent exhibitions representing the history of Skopje, from the first recorded settlements around 3000 BC to present. The museum's collection consists of 21,950 objects divided into four sections: archeology, history, ethnology, and art history. Notable donations to the museum include 182 photographs by Macedonian art photographer Blagoja Drnkov, a collection of traditional Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock prints, and 159 works, primarily watercolors, donated by artist Lubomir Belogaski. The museum also features a permanent exhibition called 'Walk through the Past' which covers the period from prehistory to the early 20th century Skopje and its surroundings

Top 10 Things To Do in Skopje with Kids
This family's experience:

Activities: We explored two floors of the museum on our visit: the bottom floor exhibits which showcased items going back to 3000 BC and, the ground floor level where which recreates and documents the events of the 1966 earthquake

Highlights: We were unable to find any brochures or maps around the museum, and it was quite deserted of even museum guides so I think we may have missed some rooms which weren’t immediately obvious ✨
