I'm almost ashamed to say that I've never been to the Museum of Yugoslavia. Not even back in the distant 1980, when Marshal Tito died. At that time, after his burial, they were taking school kids to visit his tomb, but for some reason my school didn't go, I don't remember why. So, now that I'm in Belgrade, I decided to go there for the first time.
They call it the Museum of Yugoslavia, although I don't ...
I've been in Belgrade for just over two months now. In one of my previous posts, I wrote about many restoration projects that the city authorities were doing to improve the way the city looks. But the biggest and most ambitious building project was the Saint Sava Church. They've now completed the works and you can finally also see the church, in addition to the crypt.
So, if and when you go to Belgrade, ...
I shouldn't really write a separate post about Zemun. That's because Zemun is a municipality of Belgrade. But Zemun has been part of Belgrade for only 86 years. For many past centuries, it was a completely independent city.
The main reason why I decided to write a separate post is because, when you go there, it feels like being in a completely different place. The last time I was there it was over 30 ...
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 ...
The National Museum of Serbia is the oldest, most important and most prestigious cultural institution in Serbia. Established in 1844, it moved into its current building in 1950. The museum collection consists of over 400000 objects which, in addition to local treasures, also includes foreign masterpieces. I'm starting the story of this museum with the Serbian medieval art.
The museum was closed between ...
