The museum consists of only the 1963 earthquake and a few boring archeological stuff.
Nice museum in old railway station which was partly demolished in 1963 earthquake. Just a right wing is available, the rest is demolished. Inside are just 4 rooms, 1st is some necklaces and so, second is dedicated to 1st elevator in Skopje from beginning of the 20st century and you can also step into the elevator, which is nice. Secondly the ground floor is from period before Christ. 3rd room is dedicated to earthquake, which is really nice and detailed with pictures and newspapers from that time from all round the world. 4th room is empty dedicated to some art, which is not there. Entry is free! Overal nice, but building need reconstruction soon.
If you're a tourist visiting Skopje, you have to visit the Skopje museum. It's well worth the visit.
In august 2017 was not yet completed. Few interesting things. Ideal for half hour in a rainy day if you're not from Macedonia
Really interesting museum to know about Skopje's history after the earthquake. Free entrance and the guide was very kind with us explaining all the things.
Very interesting exhibition about the 1963 earthquake. Small museum
Worth a visit! Doesn't look inviting from the outside but definitely worth checking out!! No admission fee :-)
Nice space but needs menagment with ideas

So much history in one place. Clock that stopped working during an earthquake still reminds of a fragile past that shook up this little nation.
Located inside what’s left of the old train station, City Museum currently features two small collections on two floors.
At ground level, the museum offers the briefest of insights into life in the city before WWII. Exhibits include costumes, photographs and
personal possessions from a number of Macedonian minorities including Jews, Albanians, Gypsies, Serbs and Vlachs.
Down the stairs there are few dimly lit cases showcasing some fine examples of ancient bits and bobs dug up in the vicinity.
The pride of the museum is the 6000-year-old, 15cm-high clay “Adam from Govrlevo” statue, which was discovered in 2000 and put on display here in later 2006. The statue is ranked among the world’s top 10 Neolithic artefacts, as it is perhaps the earliest representation of a human figure - with ribs, spine, belly button and a regrettably chopped-off erection.
