National Gallery of North Macedonia

The National Gallery of North Macedonia is an art museum located in Skopje. It is housed within the 15th-century Daut Pasha Hamam, a former Ottoman bathhouse. Visitors go here to view a collection of artworks that span from the 14th century to the present day, providing a chronological overview of the region's artistic development.

Getting There

The gallery is situated in the Old Bazaar area, which is within walking distance of the city centre. Depending on your starting point in the central district, the walk typically takes between 10 and 20 minutes.

Visit Duration

Allow approximately 1.5 to 3 hours to walk through the exhibition spaces and view the permanent collections.

When to Visit

Visiting during weekday mornings generally avoids the larger crowds. Because the gallery is located inside a historic stone structure, the interior remains relatively cool during the summer months.
