One more place in Belgrade that I've never visited in the past is Paja Jovanovic museum. I don't really know why I didn't go there before. Perhaps, it was a lack of interest. Or it could be that, when I lived there, I was too young to properly understand art. But even during my numerous previous visits to Belgrade, I continuously missed it.
My first proper encounter with Paja Jovanovic was in the ...
There is one more important section in the National Museum in Belgrade that I'd like to write about. I saw it for the first time during my latest visit to the museum. The section that I'm talking about is the Yugoslav modern art.
In fact, it makes sense to add these paintings to the permanent collection. Thus, you can see progression of the Serbian art from medieval times, through the 18th and the 19th ...
This is my second post on the Yugoslav 20th century art. During my latest visit to Belgrade, I went back to the National Museum to see this collection. I mostly missed it when I was there last time. Sometimes, we go to a museum and, after a while, we become saturated with too many impressions. Then, it becomes difficult to process and remember everything. But thanks to the photos in this and my previous ...
I visited the newly restored National Museum in Belgrade in November 2018. Afterwards, I presented four important parts of its collection: Medieval Art, Serbian 19th Century Painting, International Collection and Impressionists. Surely, all of them are truly impressive. But there is one more important collection in the museum. I'm talking about the Yugoslav 20th century art.
So, I went back to the museum ...
The Impressionists in the National Museum in Belgrade add to the story of this museum. In my previous posts, I wrote about the Serbian medieval art, Serbian 19th century painting and also about the international collection that you can see there. Surely, these are truly magnificent works of art.
But the Impressionists collection is also special and unique. The museum in Belgrade is the only place where ...
The international collection of paintings in the National Museum in Belgrade continues the story of this museum. In my previous two posts, I wrote about Serbian medieval art and Serbian 19th century painting. Surely, those are truly magnificent works of art and, as I previously mentioned, probably the most interesting to see. This is especially true for people that want to get acquainted with the Serbian ...
The Serbian 19th century painting is, in addition to the Serbian medieval art, certainly the most interesting part of the collection in the National Museum in Belgrade. I dedicated my previous post to Serbian frescoes and icons. However, in this post I will present the 19th century paintings. It was the time when Serbia gained independence from the Ottoman rule. It was also a period when European influences ...
I've been in Belgrade for just over two weeks now. This is the first time in 30 years that I'm staying here for a longer time. In the past, I would stay for a week or two, but never longer than that. I had a job to go back to and had to shape visits around my holidays. I love that I can spend more time here and that I can reconnect with the city. After all, I'm from Belgrade. It's my city, despite the fact ...
A place in Belgrade that I've never visited before is the Vuk and Dositej Museum. Normally, it's a place where they take you as a kid with school, to learn about two most influential Serbs that shaped the language and culture of the nation, after centuries under the Ottoman rule. But, for some reason, I never went there.
In all honesty, I didn't think much of this museum because it's in a relatively ...
Belgrade Fortress is the most important historic site in Belgrade. Its position, overlooking the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, makes it a very unique place because not many other cities have two big rivers. Views from the fortress are spectacular.
