Museum of the Macedonian Struggle, Historical museum in central Skopje, North Macedonia
The Museum of the Macedonian Struggle is a public building in central Skopje dedicated to documenting liberation movements and independence efforts. It contains exhibition spaces organized around key historical themes and moments.
The building was designed and constructed between 2008 and 2011 as a memorial to Macedonia's separation from Yugoslavia. Its collections document resistance movements that shaped the nation across different historical periods.
The museum reflects how central the independence struggle remains to Macedonian identity today. Visitors encounter this meaning through objects and displays that still resonate with people in the region.
The museum is accessible to visitors with mobility concerns and staff can arrange guided tours upon request. Plan to spend a couple of hours here and check opening times before your visit, as hours vary by day.
The original document of the 1991 Declaration of Independence is displayed as a centerpiece, alongside materials printed in Braille for visually impaired visitors. This approach to accessibility is integrated throughout the displays.
