The world's smallest ethnological museum is located in the village of Džepčište, near Tetovo, at the foot of Mount Šar.

Owned by architect Simeon Zlatev-Mone, the museum covers only 7.2 square meters but contains more than 1,500 artifacts dating from the 5th–8th century BC to the early 20th century.

Among the exhibits, the smallest artifact is a rubber voting token from the first half of the 20th century, with a diameter of less than one centimeter. The largest artifact is a copper dining tray from Dojran, over a meter in diameter, while the heaviest is a hand-operated stone mill for grinding bulgur, weighing 58 kilograms.

The museum is open to the public and has been visited by more than 7,000 people from both the country and abroad. Entry is free, and visitors can explore old books, writing tools, coins, banknotes, traditional jewelry, and other artifacts reflecting the region’s cultural heritage.

After visiting the museum, the tour includes a walk through Tetovo. The half-day tour ends with a lunch before returning to Skopje.
