About
EXHIBIT AREA Gallery The exhibit area in the Memorial House of Mother Teresa was conceived so as to look like an urban house from the early 20th century. The aim of the exhibit is to follow the life of Mother Teresa from her childhood spent in her native Skopje through the years spent as a Missionary of Charity, all the way until her death and beatification. The most important items in this museum are the signature white sari with blue stripes (second-class relic), the official habit of the Missionaries of Charity, a copy of the Baptism certificate from the Catholic Church Sacred Heart of Jesus, authorized copies of documents with her handwriting and her awards. Chapel Above the gallery, there is a small chapel where the priests from the Catholic Church hold services.

    MORE SYMBOLIC THAN FASCINATING AND NOT THE ORIGINAL EITHER
    This memorial house is more symbolic than it is fascinating. It's a quaint little building built on a busy shopping walkway and has various designs running through it's structure. This is not the original building nor the original place where it was built. It has been moved from the walkway between the Porta Macedonia and Macedonia Square to allow for newer building work. A statue of the great woman stands to the left of the house and you'll also find others of her inside. As well as that you'll aslo find a lot of her life story depicted in photos and pictures of her all around the walls as well as various items of houseware that she grew up using. Interesting place without being inspiring which it should be to befit the lady

    Small, but inspirational
    I had the privilege of visiting this small museum as part of a walking tour that was incorporated into a day trip to Skopje from Sofia. A visit to this small museum won’t require too much of your time, but it will definitely provide a breath of fresh air. Even if this stop hadn’t been incorporated into the walking tour I was on, I would have gladly made a special trip to the museum during my free time in Skopje.

    Learn Everything About Mother Teresa in One Visit
    This homage to Mother Teresa provides an historical review of Mother Teresa's life and her calling to God. The chapel above the museum proviee a calming and relaxing environment. The small gift shop offers Mother Teresa artifacts, including holy cards in several languages. Just like mother Teresa herself, everything in the memorial house is concise, compact, and meaningful.

Not much inside. Outside are 4 mounds of rocks, with a metal ball on top, signifying Mother Teresa’s view that though a drop (metal ball) is small, even an ocean (mound of rocks) would be nothing without that drop. Each mound was supposed to include a fountain, but the city ran out of cash.

The Memorial House is worth a quick visit if you are interested in Mother Teresa. It has a small gift shop and a small museum. The museum contains artifacts from the period Mother Teresa was growing up in Skopje but not necessarily belonging to her. I found the chapel in the 3rd level quite pretty and the highlight of the Memorial House. You can tour the Memorial House in around 30 minutes.

For those who know the life and works of this Saint, a visit to this small museum dedicated to her, also visited in 2019 by Pope Francis, is a must. The Museum was built in the same place where the Church where Mother Teresa was baptized stood. Free entry and very kind girl present in the Museum who provided us with the brochure in Italian and gave many explanations about the Museum and its creation and about the Saint's life in Skopje.

This small, self-guided "memorial house" is not to be missed during your trip to Skopje. There is a nice exhibition of St. Mother Teresa's writings and personal effects, including a life-size statue of her that is eerily human and quite affecting. The tiny gift shop has a surprisingly vast collection of tasteful souvenirs and gifts from Albania and Macedonia, most of which are imbued with Mother Teresa's image and sayings. It won't take long to stop in to this curiously wonderful gem of a place; it's within walking distance of the "Warrior on a Horse" Fountain in the center of Skopje.

A museum dedicated to a renowned Catholic nun, Mother Teresa, with an eclectic design & a striking, modern chapel. Don't be mistaken, this isn't her birth house. There is a plaque for that-not too far away. There used to be a church located here and it's where Mother Teresa was baptized.

Walked to Memorial House of Mother Teresa which was constructed on the site of the old Catholic Church. The memorial was very well done with lots of interesting photos of her with dignitaries from around the world. A timeline offers a quick glimpse of the main accomplishments of this very interesting person.
