History

As a house

The national-revival era house was owned by the Andonovi family.

As a museum

The house was restored and purchased by the Ministry of Culture. The museum was officially opened by the then Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski, the Minister of Culture Elizabeta Kančeska Milevska and the Mayor of Štip Municipality, Ilčo Zahariev in 2014.[2][3]

The museum exhibits documents, weapons and objects, as well as 11 wax figures of the teachers in Štip and leaders of the Macedonian Revolutionary Organization, Goce Delčev, Dame Gruev and Gjorče Petrov as well as many Štip figures including Miše Razvigorov, Todor Aleksandrov and Vančo Mihajlov. These items are displayed within seven exhibition galleries in the museum building.[3]

The museum covers the period from the founding of IMRO in 1893 to the liquidation of IMRO in 1934 and is under the jurisdiction of the Štip Museum.[4][3]
