Housed in a stunning modernist building with floor-to-ceiling windows and perched atop a hill with wonderful city views, this museum was built in the aftermath of Skopje's devastating 1963 earthquake. Artists and collections around the world donated works to form a collection that includes Picasso, L茅ger, Hockney, Meret Oppenheim and Bridget Riley. Unfortunately, its collection isn't always on display 鈥 you may come here and find its exhibitions extraordinary or mundane, depending on what's been put on display.
