Museum of the Republic of North Macedonia
Museum of the Republic of North Macedonia, National museum in Old Bazaar, Skopje, North Macedonia.
The Museum of the Republic of North Macedonia is a large building in the Old Bazaar district that houses archaeological finds, documents, and everyday objects from different periods of the region across its 6,000 square meters of exhibition space. The displays are arranged in connected sections that guide visitors through these materials.
The museum was established in 1924 when three separate collections focused on archaeology, history, and local life were merged together. This combination created a more complete picture of how the region developed over time.
The collections here show how local crafts and dress styles have shaped the region's identity over generations. Walking through the galleries, you see clothing, textiles, and objects that reveal how communities maintained their traditions.
The building sits near Skopje Fortress and is accessible on foot while exploring the Old Bazaar area. Educational programs and guided tours are available throughout the year, so there is usually something to experience depending on when you visit.
The building complex incorporates Kuršumli An, a 16th-century stone structure with traditional Ottoman design that directly serves as exhibition space. This blends the displayed materials with the age of the structure itself in an unexpected way.
