Macedonia’s long and legendary history has been carefully preserved in its museums, the most important of which are in Skopje. The Archaeological Museum takes the visitor on a journey through the millennia, from the Neolithic Age, the Bronze and the Iron Ages, the Classical and the Hellenistic Periods, all the way through to the Roman, Slavic, Byzantine and Turkish periods. 
The Historical Museum gives a chronological overview of Macedonian history through the centuries up to the National War of Liberation.
The Ethnographic Museum has a substantial amount of items which are thematically displayed. Finally, the Museum of Natural History showcases many examples of the indigenous and sometimes odd flora and fauna found throughout Macedonia.
Apart from their permanent exhibitions, Macedonia’s museums organize temporary exhibitions and other events, and feature gift shops where tourists can buy certified replicas of Macedonian icons, booklets and other souvenirs.
In addition to the major museums found in Skopje, smaller museums and archives with their own unique collections can be found throughout Macedonia’s other cities and towns.
