Museum of Ivo Andrić, Literature memorial museum in central Belgrade, Serbia.
The Museum of Ivo Andrić is housed in a writer's apartment and displays his study room along with personal documents and professional awards. The interior preserves the original arrangement of furniture and objects as they remained during his residence there.
The museum opened on 10 October 1976 by decree of Serbia's Ministry for Science and Culture, in the apartment at Andrićev venac 8 where Ivo Andrić lived with his wife Milica Babić from 1958 until his death. It is part of the Belgrade City Museum and is maintained by the Ivo Andrić Foundation.
The author chose this residence while serving in diplomatic roles and left behind spaces shaped by his literary pursuits. The rooms reveal how his daily life moved between writing and diplomatic responsibilities.
The museum occupies the apartment at Andrićev venac 8 where Ivo Andrić lived with his wife Milica Babić from 1958 until his death. The entrance hall, salon and study keep their original layout, while the two former bedrooms now hold the permanent exhibition. The rooms are small, so groups move slowly; the library of 4,502 books is in the study.
The two former bedrooms were converted into an exhibition space holding the permanent display, which includes Andrić's Nobel Prize medal and plaque, the Vuk Award, honorary doctorates, his student booklet and diplomatic passports, plus original manuscripts and letters. His personal library in the study numbers 4,502 books, and staff are transferring his marginalia and notes into a searchable electronic database.
