National Museum, Belgrade

Located on Republic Square next to the National Theatre is the National Museum. It is the largest and oldest museum in Serbia, established in 1844. The present building had its grand opening in 1952 and was completely rebuilt and reopened in 2018.

The collection includes more than 400,000 objects. The collection comprises 34 sets, including archeological, numismatic, artistic, and historical objects. Masterpieces from all over the world are included in the collection.

In many of the permanent exhibits, there is a focus on telling the story of the development of this part of Europe. Artifacts narrate the timeline from the Paleolithic period to modern times.

The art collection includes works from French, Dutch, Russian, German, Flemish, Italian, Japanese, and Chinese masters, along with many others. The collection includes pieces by Picasso, Monet, Renoir, Rouault, Degas, and Cezanne, just to name a few.

The National Museum is a must-see for art buffs and history enthusiasts. Even though the collection is extensive, most guests find that one or two hours is sufficient to enjoy the well-organized collections. Descriptions are conveniently available in English. Entrance is free on Sundays, and the museum is closed every Monday.
