Since 1970 it has become the Museum of the City of Skopje which exists as of 1949. It was adapted to a museum and now it has 4000 m2 out of which 2500 m2 are planned for the permanent exhibition (which is now being set up) and 800 m2 are used as a gallery for temporary exhibitions. <\/p>\n<p>The clock on this old train station stopped at 5:17 am since the morning of 26 July 1963, when this piece of the grand modernist station of Skopje was one of the few parts of the city that remained standing after a massive earthquake crushed the city. It measured 6.1 on the Richter scale, killed nearly two thousand people, and left over a hundred thousand homeless after destroying about 80% of the city. It&#8217;s a reminder of a tragic moment in Skopje&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i48.tinypic.com\/3013w2w.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i46.tinypic.com\/wu30y0.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i45.tinypic.com\/28mee77.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i45.tinypic.com\/20l1e1f.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i45.tinypic.com\/14l1176.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i48.tinypic.com\/2quhqab.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The building of the Old Railway station was designed and built in the period 1938 -1940 by the Serbian architect Gavrilovic.
