Contemporary art

The collection of works of the contemporary art as an integral part of the Ni Institute for Protection of Cultural Monuments and Museum-Ohrid, started its history in the early sixties of 20th century, firstly through allocation of the artistic works from the former secretariats and councils for culture, then through gifts from the fund to Mosha Pijade, gifts from the Art Gallery-Skopje as well as works-gifts from the authors themselves or by their families.

The collection of contemporary art is divided into two segments, the Macedonian art and international art and the same contains works from different areas of the fine arts, such as: works in the field of painting, graphics, sculpture, works in the field on photography, object art and woodcarving.
