Museum of the City of Belgrade
About

Founded in 1903, the Museum of the City of Belgrade is a dynamic institution dedicated to preserving and presenting the city’s rich cultural and historical legacy. Its diverse collections span archaeology, urban planning, fine arts, ethnology, and literature, offering a comprehensive narrative of Belgrade’s evolution from prehistoric settlements to modern times. The museum oversees several satellite sites, including the Residence of Princess Ljubica, the Paja Jovanović Museum, and the Vinča archaeological site, each contributing unique perspectives on Serbian heritage. With over 200,000 artifacts, including works by renowned Serbian and international artists, the museum reflects Belgrade’s role as a crossroads of civilizations. A major new facility is underway in the historic Military Academy Building, designed by Dimitrije T. Leko in 1899, which will unify the museum’s holdings under one roof. This ambitious project promises to transform the museum into a central hub for cultural education and public engagement in Serbia’s capital.
