Belgrade City Museum, Art museum in Belgrade, Serbia
The Belgrade City Museum is an art museum featuring paintings and artworks by Serbian and international artists spanning different periods. The collections document how the city and its artistic traditions developed over time.
The museum was founded on 5 October 1903, when Belgrade's municipal registry recorded a decision signed by Kosta D. Glavinić to house the municipal museum in a dedicated room of the National Museum. In December 2006 the city awarded it the former Military Academy building on Resavska Street, built in 1899, for a future permanent home.
Since 2015 the museum has hosted the concert season "Muzički svodovi Beograda" (Musical Vaults of Belgrade), launched on the initiative of the organisation Kulturni element. Concerts, plays and performances are staged in various museum buildings, among its most visited programmes. The museum also keeps a series of old maps and plans of Belgrade.
The museum holds thousands of artworks and objects that were previously scattered across multiple locations. Visitors should plan enough time to explore the different collection areas.
The museum holds one of Serbia's largest art collections, which for years was scattered across different buildings throughout the city. These works are now being brought together in one central location for visitors to experience more completely.
