Pristina Ethnographic Museum (Muzeu Etnologjik) Tours and Activities
5 Reviews
Free admission
Hidden away in Pristina’s Old Town, the Pristina Ethnographic Museum (Muzeu Etnologjik) is a must-see for visitors to Kosovo’s capital. The museum is housed in the 18th century Emin Gjiku Complex, which once belonged to a local nobleman by the same name. After Gjiku and his family were expelled from Kosovo in the 1950s, the complex was initially a biology museum, eventually opening as the Ethnographic Museum in 2006.
The museum features permanent exhibitions relating to life in Kosovo during the Ottoman era and focuses on a circle of life theme, with displays focusing on birth, life, death and heritage. Divided among two buildings, visitors will see rooms furnished just as they would have been during Ottoman times, as well as a traditional “room of birth” and “room of death.” Other rooms display traditional jewelry, costumes, pottery, weapons and other tools. Enthusiastic and knowledgeably English-speaking guides are available to walk you through the museum and share even more of the area’s history and culture.
Open Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
