The Museum of the Macedonian Struggle (Macedonian: Музеј на Македонската Борба) is a national museum of the Republic of Macedonia located in the capital city of Skopje. Construction of the museum began June 11th 2008 and it was opened to the public on the 20th anniversary of the declaration of independence on September 8th, 2011. The building is located between the Museum of Archaeology (under construction), the Holocaust Museum of Macedonia, the Stone Bridge and the Vardar River.
The exhibit covers the fight for Macedonian statehood from the days of the Hajduks against the Turkish occupation during the Ottoman Empire until the declaration of independence from Yugoslavia on 8th September 1991. The guided tours take the visitors through 13 exhibits ending in front of the original copy of the 1991 Declaration of Independence.
The construction of the museum and other parts of the Skopje 2014 project caused controversy in Skopje with accusations of lack of transparency in the funding, the choice of themes, and that it served the interests of the ruling party VMRO-DPMNE.[1]
