The Bay of Bones is a museum built on Lake Ohrid. It is a reconstruction of a prehistoric pile-dwelling settlement. The original site dates back to the Bronze and Iron Ages. Archaeologists found wooden supports, tools, and pottery underwater. The museum shows how people once lived in houses built on wooden platforms above the lake. Visitors can walk through the huts and see replicas of ancient objects. There is also a small museum on land with items from the excavation. The site offers a view of both history and the natural beauty of the lake.
