A place worth remembering
The layout before gallery use
The original Hamam had distinct spaces for men and women and covered 900 square metres. The National Gallery records that the building was restored and adapted for art-gallery use in 1948.[1]
A detail from the first permanent display
The National Gallery’s account of its first permanent display, in 1951, mentions models of medieval Macedonian churches among icons and other work.[1]

The National Gallery says the Hamam’s interior was redesigned in 1982 and 1999. The permanent display that is shown now was set in 2001 and presents Macedonian fine art across six centuries, from the 14th to the 20th.[1]
