Military Museum
About

Perched within the historic Kalemegdan Fortress, the Military Museum in Belgrade offers a sweeping chronicle of Serbia’s military past. Established in 1878, it houses over 3,000 artifacts spanning from ancient Roman and medieval weaponry to 20th-century tanks and uniforms. The museum’s interior guides visitors through centuries of conflict and resilience, with exhibits labeled in both Serbian and English. Outside, a striking open-air display features decommissioned artillery and armored vehicles, including pieces captured during World War II and remnants from the 1999 NATO bombing campaign. Particularly notable is the wreckage of a downed US F-117 stealth aircraft, a symbol of Serbia’s modern military history. The museum not only preserves the material legacy of warfare but also invites reflection on the broader historical forces that have shaped the region. Its location, overlooking the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, adds a powerful sense of place to this immersive experience.
