  • The Belgrade City Museum, formerly the Municipal Museum, was founded by the municipal authorities of Belgrade in 1903.
  • The Museum’s collection of items from the period of prehistory, with a large part dedicated to the period of antiquity, and a collection of engravings and maps of Belgrade from the 16th to the 19th century tell the story about the long and rich history of this city.
  • Due to insufficient space, there is not a permanent exhibition in the museum, which existed from 1945 to 1960. The Museum exhibits its collections at several locations.
  • The Museum houses exhibitions with cultural and historical themes (Residence of Princess Ljubica, Sekulić Icon Collection), local history (Local History Museums in Zemun and Mladenovac), memorial (the Museums of Toma Rosandić, Јovan Cviјić, Paјa Јovanović, the Memorial Museum of Ivo Andrić and the Banjica Concentration Camp Museum), along with the archeological site in Vinča.
