Housed inside a large, Polish-designed box, the fabulous Contemporary Art Museum, like so many good things in Skopje, owes its existence to the 1963 earthquake. Established the following year and opened in 1970, the 5,428 square metre interior is positively stuffed with fine examples of world art. The permanent collection features some 3,000 pieces by artists from over 60 countries, and includes painting, graphic art and sculpture by names such as Hocknet, LeWitt and Picasso.
Admission free, special exhibitions 50den.
