Museums
Located on the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, the museum of contemporary art displays a rich collection of paintings, sculptures and installations from the 1920s up until the present day. Besides the art on display, the museum building itself is of notable architectural value: opened in 1958, this masterpiece of Yugoslav modernism still looks very up to date. It was restored and reopened in 2018 after being closed for several years.

The National Museum has a somewhat misleading name, for it is in fact a museum of fine arts. It preserves the richest and largest collection in Serbia, with over 400 000 items spanning from prehistoric times to the early 20th century. Among them, one can find masterpieces of European art, such as Claude Monet’s “Pink Cathedral”, from the famous Rouen cathedral series, Gaugin’s “Tahitian” or Picasso’s portrait of a young woman. How this last painting ended up in the Belgrade museum is a most fascinating story; make sure you visit the museum to find out!

The Royal Palace was built between 1924 and 1929 as the private residence of King Alexander I of Yugoslavia. This spacious villa built in the Serbo-Byzantine style lacks the grandness of the official Royal Palace (now the presidential palace), but it is far cosier and more elegant. The ground floor reception rooms are very beautifully appointed: the entrance hall is paved with stone and decorated with copies of medieval frescoes from the medieval monasteries of Dečani and Sopoćani. The blue drawing room is decorated in the Baroque style while the Golden Drawing Room and Dining Room are in Renaissance style with impressive wood carved ceilings and bronze chandeliers. Paintings of masters such as Palma Vecchio and Nicolas Poussin adorn the walls of the villa. The royal residence is surrounded by pergolas, pools, a pavilion and terraces, offering a beautiful view of the surrounding forest.

This museum is one of Belgrade’s best kept secrets! Jovan Cvijić (1865 – 1927), geographer, ethologist, president of the Serbian Academy of Sciences, was one of the foremost Serbian intellectuals at the turn of the century. Guided by the moto “to study on foot and not in the cabinet”, he crisscrossed the Balkan Peninsula, studying landscapes, people, taking notes and drawing sketches. His lifetime work is exhibited in his house in Kopitareva Gradina, a 10-minute walk from the apartment. Equally interesting is the house itself, a fine example of Art Nouveau, influenced by traditional Balkans patterns and motifs. The interior is exactly as it was at the time of Cvijic’s death and all the furniture is original.
