Museum of Serbian Orthodox Church
About

Located within the Patriarchate building near Belgrade’s Cathedral, the Museum of the Serbian Orthodox Church offers a profound insight into the spiritual and artistic heritage of Serbian Orthodoxy. Established in 1954, its origins trace back to 19th-century efforts to preserve ecclesiastical treasures. The museum’s collection spans centuries, featuring icons, manuscripts, liturgical textiles, and sacred objects from monasteries across Serbia and beyond. Highlights include the 15th-century icon of Christ Pantocrator and the monumental cross from Velika Remeta Monastery. Replicas of medieval frescoes and sculptures greet visitors in the entrance hall, while rare items such as Emperor Dušan’s 14th-century charter and King Milutin’s embroidered shroud evoke the deep historical ties between church and state. With over 800 items on display and thousands more in its archives, the museum stands as a guardian of faith, artistry, and national identity.
