Museum of Vuk and Dositej

The Museum of Vuk and Dositej is housed in a historic residence and displays personal items, manuscripts, and literary collections from these two major reformers. The exhibition spreads across two floors, presenting their writings and belongings within the authentic rooms of the building.

The building was constructed in 1739 as a Turkish-style residence and later became the country's first higher education institution. The museum was established in 1949 to document the lifeworks of these two key figures in Serbian intellectual history.

The exhibitions show how two major Serbian thinkers shaped their nation's language and education system through their work. Visitors can see their ideas reflected in the manuscripts and personal objects on display.

The museum is located in Belgrade's old town and offers complete wheelchair accessibility throughout its spaces. The two-floor layout makes it easy to navigate and explore within a short visit.

The ground floor features Dositej's belongings while the upper floor displays Vuk's possessions, including his travel bags and eyeglasses. This spatial arrangement lets visitors directly compare the two figures through their material remains.
