Military Museum — Attraction in City of Belgrade

Impressive museum of Serbia's military history, from Roman times through the 1999 Kosovo War. Lots of well preserved weapons, armor, uniforms, and awards. Entry to the museum is 350 dinars (≈€3) payable in cash, but there are also many vehicles and artillery pieces outside which can be viewed for free.

Some of the plaques are weathered, both indoors and outdoors, making them difficult to read, and there are some translations to English and Russian as well (although there are less of the latter), but not everything has them, and there doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason when and when not they were placed. The Serbian text also varies between the Cyrillic and Latin scripts depending on the item, also without a clear pattern, making it difficult for visitors from neighboring countries which only use the Latin script to fully appreciate all the content of the museum.

The presentation itself is fairly neutral. The exhibits mostly just display equipment without much additional commentary beyond basic historical context. As an American living in Croatia, I did not feel like I was walking through a Serbian propaganda tour or anything like that, it's just of a collection of artifacts.

Overall though, it's definitely worth the visit if you're into military history or equipment, even if you can't read Serbian Cyrillic, it's mostly just cool weapons and armor, and is pretty easy to follow and get an idea of what everything is. With more comprehensive foreign language translations and some maintenance, I would definitely give this...

One of Belgrade's most visited and important museums.

The museum has an abundance of different military artifacts, which makes it extremely interesting if you are visiting with kids. Furthermore, there is a large "Military park" right in front of the Museum, which features real life scale replicas of various military weapons and vehicles. This is one of the most interesting areas for kids in the entire Kalemegdan area. The park, unlike the main museum is free of charge, but don't worry, the entrance price for the main museum is only 200 RSD,...

Outside has various tanks and machines which are free to see. Inside is split over 2 floors and is in chronological order of history. For anyone who likes military history there is a lot to see. Most signs are in Serbian only. It does mention to download an app and scan for other languages but couldn't seem to find it.

Bags have to be left in lockers and you have to go through a metal detector.

The lady on the desk didn't have the right change, so we were told to go round and she'd have it at the end. When we asked for it she suddenly didn't speak English so unfortunately had to leave without it. Make sure you have the right money before entering if you don't speak the...
