About

The Museum of Theatrical Arts of Serbia, located in Belgrade’s historic Dorćol district, is the country’s premier institution dedicated to the preservation and celebration of dramatic arts. Founded in 1950 and housed in Božić’s House—a 19th-century merchant residence protected as a cultural monument—the museum offers a rich chronicle of Serbian theatre from its earliest roots to contemporary productions. Its extensive collections include manuscripts, directorial notes, scenographic sketches, costume designs, photographs, and rare audio-visual recordings. Through thematic exhibitions and archival research, the museum illuminates the lives and legacies of playwrights, actors, directors, and set designers who shaped the national stage. It also serves as a vital resource for scholars and theatre professionals, fostering dialogue between tradition and innovation. As a guardian of theatrical memory, the museum invites visitors to explore the artistry, emotion, and social impact of performance in Serbia.
