The Museum Peace, Security and Defense Research in the Republic of Macedonia has two departments: the Department for Military History and the Department for Peacekeeping Operations. The latter collects, researches and exhibits historical items and documents related to the country’s peace processes and the Army of the Republic of Macedonia’s peacekeeping operations abroad under UN, NATO and EU command.

The museum was opened in 2006 as Military Museum in the military barracks ‘Goce Delcev’ by decision of the Ministry of Culture in Skopje. In 2008, the government of the Republic of Macedonia decided to reform and restructure this Military Museum and moved the organization in the building of the National Museum of Macedonia. On 7 December 2012, the museum was officially renamed to Museum of Peace, Security and Defense Research. The museums have an UNESCO certificate and work together with Skopje’s archeological, ethnological and historical museums, such as the Museum of Holocaust and the Memorial Museum of Mother Teresa. Macedonia is the homeland of 1979 Nobel Peace Prize Winner Mother Theresa.
