The
Ethnological
Treasure
of
Kosovo
is
an
ethnographic
museum
in
Pristina,
Kosovo.
It
is
located
in
Emin
Gjiku
Complex,
a
monument
of
culture
from
the
18th
century.
This
house
was
once
owned
by
the
family
of
Emin
Gjikolli.
Emin
Gjikolli
nickname
means
"little
man",
in
Turkish
"Eminçik",
which
the
complex
holds
the
name
today.
In
the
museum,
tools
and
items
related
to
lifestyle
from
the
Ottoman
Kosovo
period
are
on
display.
In
2002,
the
Ethnological
Museum
opened
its
exhibition
of
a
permanent
nature,
in
which
ancient
clothing,
tools,
containers
furniture
and
old
weapons,
etc.,
were
presented.
Until
1990,
the
Emin
Gjiku
Complex
served
as
a
nature
museum
and
after
the
completion
of
internationally
funded
conservation
works
in
2003,
it
was
turned
into
an
ethnological
museum
housing
a
vast
collection
of
traditional
costumes
as
well
as
utensils,
handcraft
elements
and
other
tools
used
in
everyday
life.
The
above-mentioned
collection
is
sheltered
in
the
two
central
buildings
of
the
complex
(the
house
and
the
guest
house)
situated
at
the
inner
court,
while
at
the
entrance
court,
the
relocated
building
is
rented
under
a
special
contract
by
the
museum
to
a
Contemporary
Art
Centre
'Stacion'
and
the
stable,
the
object
of
this
study
is
left
unused
to
date,
even
though
the
constant
promises
by
the
director
of
the
museum
to
turn
it
into
a
traditional
food
restaurant.
