Zemun Homeland Museum
About

The Zemun Homeland Museum, housed in the historic Spirta House, offers a compelling narrative of Zemun’s evolution from prehistoric times to the modern era. Founded in 1955 and relocated in 1971, the museum occupies one of Belgrade’s finest examples of Gothic Revival architecture, originally built in 1848 by the influential Spirta family. Its richly decorated interiors, including inlaid parquet and ornate wall paintings, reflect the family’s noble status and the cultural sophistication of 19th-century Zemun. The permanent exhibition, “Seven Thousand Years of Zemun,” traces the area’s development through archaeological finds, historical documents, and personal artifacts. Though currently under reconstruction, the museum remains a vital institution for preserving local heritage and identity. It stands as a testament to Zemun’s layered past, bridging Roman roots, Austro-Hungarian influence, and Serbian tradition within a single architectural gem.
