About

The Postal Museum in Belgrade offers a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of communication in Serbia, from the mid-19th century to the present day. Located in the historic First Telephone Exchange building, constructed in 1908 in Serbian-Byzantine style, the museum showcases rare artifacts including Serbia’s first Morse telegraph from 1855, early telephones, and a mechanical dictation machine from 1912. One standout exhibit is the telephone used by King Petar I between 1904 and 1911. Visitors are greeted by a 19th-century zeppelin gifted by President Tito, once used for mail and passenger transport in the Istria region. The museum’s collection spans stamps, uniforms, and technical devices that trace the development of postal, telegraphic, and telephonic services. With thoughtfully curated displays and rotating exhibitions, it appeals to both history enthusiasts and casual visitors. Situated in the city center, it remains a hidden gem that connects Belgrade’s past to the present through the lens of communication.
