2026Museum Exhibits - Set

The Ethnographic Museum in Belgrade was founded in 1901 by separating the ethnographic department from the National Museum. Various ethnographic objects earthenware and metal utensils, jewellery, amulets, glass and textile objects, weapons, tools, Easter eggs and other museum items were transferred to the Stevča Mihailović Foundation, which he bequeathed in his will for this very purpose. The objects were collected during field research in what was then Serbia and neighbouring countries where the Serbian people lived. The first permanent exhibition of the Museum was opened in 1904 on the occasion of the centennial celebration of the First Serbian Uprising.
