Ethnological Treasure of Kosovo
Ethnological Treasure of Kosovo, Ethnographic museum in Prishtina, Kosovo
The Ethnological Museum occupies an 18th-century complex with two central buildings displaying traditional artifacts from the Ottoman period in Kosovo.
The building housed a natural history museum before 1990, and international funding supported its transformation into an ethnological institution in 2003.
The museum displays regional costumes, tools, furniture, weaponry, and traditional musical instruments that reflect centuries of Albanian heritage.
The museum maintains regular opening hours throughout the week and offers guided tours through permanent exhibitions of daily life objects.
Local artisans demonstrate traditional crafts like pottery making and filigree work, continuing practices that date back to ancient Illyrian times.
