National Museum of Serbia, National museum in Republic Square, Belgrade, Serbia
The National Museum of Serbia is an archaeological and art museum on Republic Square in central Belgrade. The collection spreads across several floors of a neoclassical building and includes prehistoric finds, sacred art and paintings.
The institution opened its doors in 1844, making it the first public collection in Serbia during a time of cultural awakening. After a prolonged closure for renovation, it reopened to the public in 2018.
The name reflects the institution's role as custodian of Serbian national identity, and the building itself shows classical columns and a wide staircase leading into the entrance hall. Visitors often see local students gathered around medieval icons and art lovers examining European paintings up close.
The exhibition rooms are open from Tuesday to Sunday, with longer hours on certain weekdays. Guided tours should be arranged in advance, and the main entrance sits directly on the central square.
The institution preserves a collection of Roman coins estimated at over 300,000 pieces from different phases of the empire. This wealth comes from excavations along the Danube and other regions that were once part of Roman provinces.
