Photo and description

The collection of the Belgrade Museum of Contemporary Art has more than 35 thousand exhibits. The earliest of them date back to the beginning of the 20th century. This collection contains paintings from the first half of the last century, paintings of the post-war period. In addition, the museum presents collections of sculpture, engravings, drawings, and, apart from, works of multimedia art: photographs and videos.

Among these works you can see works of not only Yugoslav and Serbian artists, but also well-known masters all over the world - such as Juan Miro and Andy Warhol.

The museum was founded in 1958, but the arrangement of its building, the formation of collections continued until 1965. The expositions of the museum can be seen at four addresses. One of them, the main one, is located in the Usce skyscraper - the second tallest building in Serbia and the first in Belgrade. The museum salon is located on Pariska street, there are two galleries - Rodolyub Cholakovich on the street of the same name and Petr Dobrovich on Kralia Petra street.

A few words can be said about each of these branches of the museum. Ushce, which housed the headquarters of the Central Committee of the Union of Communists of Yugoslavia, was bombed in April 1999: the building received 12 rocket attacks, the tower was badly damaged, but not destroyed, and it was subsequently restored. The salon was opened earlier than the museum itself - in 1961. In the Cholakovich gallery, in addition to painting, there are also glass and porcelain items, carpets, antique furniture. The gallery was opened in a building donated to Belgrade by the statesman Rodoljub Cholakovic. It hosts promotions and other events.
