Located on the historic Gumenje hill, the Museum of the NLW (NOB) was opened in 1989 as a memorial to the fighting spirit of Krushevo. The exhibition creates a fascinating bridge between the “Two Ilindens” — the revolutionary struggle of 1903 and the liberation of 1944.

What will you see in the Museum?

• • An Artistic Masterpiece: The museum’s main wall features a magnificent mural created by Borko Lazeski in 1986. The ceiling displays powerful sun symbolism — three interlaced hands representing the three parts of Macedonia, with the Vardar River flowing through them.

• • Original Exhibits: The museum houses authentic items from the Partisan movement:
    • • The original flag of the “Pitu Guli” partisan detachment;
      • A partisan pharmacy and medical supplies;
      • Weaponry, documents, proclamations, and typewriters from that era.

• The Message of Freedom: A striking inscription in the museum clearly defines the city’s spirit: “Freedom is dear, freedom is everything; for it one lives, for it one dies.”
