Kosovo: Museum of Kosovo

We were disappointed to learn that the Museum of Kosovo was closed (renovations?).  However, the ground floor was open - where you could see ancient Roman mosaics from the 4th century - as well as some volunteers making mosaics for the hands-on children's section of this museum.

Of course, this begged the question -- could we make (and take?!) our own mosaic??  No, not yet. But they are working on organizing just the kind of workshops we requested. We were advised to follow the facebook page - so we could plan a return visit.

Here is their facebook page:   https://www.facebook.com/Museum-of-Kosova-Muzeu-i-Kosov%C3%ABs-119616464733073/







ancient Roman mosaics (although we were told the largest, most significant mosaics had been taken to Belgrade - and have not been returned - a subject of negotiation)






interactive exhibit where kids can dig for pottery and try to re-assemble the fragments
