2026200 Years of Matica Srpska - Set

MATICA SRPSKA is the oldest Serbian literary, scientific and cultural society, founded in 1826 in Pest. Its foundation was preceded by the launch of the Letopis Matice srpske (Matica Srpska Chronicle) in 1824. From the very beginning, its activities were aimed at presenting Serbian culture in Europe, and on the other hand, at educating the people. In 1864, Matica Srpska moved to Novi Sad, but its field of activity has always been in all areas where Serbs live, “now, and henceforth, forever and ever”. Many contributors and benefactors have supported the work of Matica Srpska as a central cultural institution throughout its two-hundred-year history. The scholarships of the Matica Srpska endowment have produced a large number of prominent Serbian scientists, cultural workers and artists.
