The Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade is a must-visit for anyone interested in modern and contemporary art. The museum is home to a diverse collection of works by Serbian and Yugoslav artists, as well as international artists. The collection includes paintings, sculptures, prints, drawings, and photographs. I recently had the opportunity to visit the Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade and was very impressed with the experience. As a visitor from Romania, I was particularly interested in seeing the works of Serbian and Yugoslav artists. I was not disappointed. The museum has a rich collection of works by some of the most important artists from the region. One of the things that I appreciated most about the museum was the way that it presented the art. The works were displayed in a way that was both informative and engaging. The museum also provided a lot of information about the artists and the historical context of their work. In addition to the collection, the museum also has a number of interesting exhibitions. During my visit, there was an exhibition of contemporary art from Serbia. I found the exhibition to be very thought-provoking and it gave me a new appreciation for the contemporary art scene in Serbia. Overall, I had a very positive experience at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in modern and contemporary art. The museum is located in New Belgrade, on the left bank of the Sava River. The museum is open from 10am to 6pm, Tuesday to Sunday. Admission is free for children under 12 and for students. The museum has a cafe and a gift shop. I would also recommend visiting the museum's website before your visit. The website has a lot of information about the collection and the exhibitions. I believe that the Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade is an important cultural institution. It is home to a valuable collection of art and it plays an important role in promoting contemporary art in Serbia. I am grateful for the opportunity to have visited the museum and I would encourage others to...
Read moreThe one star is not for the museum collection, which is overall excellent, but for the museum staff and organization. I am from Belgrade and tried to show the museum to my friend, a foreign visitor, a few days ago. I checked their website multiple times to make sure we don't arrive on a day when the museum is closed. When we came to the museum, the staff told us it was closed -- they were dismantling Wurm's exhibit and that it would remain closed until Sept 24 as they set up a new exhibition. When I said that nowhere on their website does it say that the museum is closed, they blamed me for not reading more carefully -- apparently a visitor/tourist is supposed to click on all their links, including "News" (which, on the home page, says something indeterminate like, The closing of the Wurm exhibition and preparations for September...) so as to find out that the museum is closed. All the other links -- visit us, hours, contacts, etc. -- suggest they are coducting business as usual, so if one (logically) first goes to these links, one is under the impression that they are open. Just, wow. If your museum is closed for a month and a half in the middle of the tourist season in Belgrade one would think it would be in your best interest to have a banner on your homepage with this info. This is just a friendly suggestion for your web designer, as this is common practice in the rest of the world -- making your website more user-friendly. You would think that they would want visitors. Or that, if a visitor pointed out that their website is somewhat misleading, they would take this into consideration as constructive criticism. What we received, instead, was lots of attitude from the museum staff. My friend was also confused as to why an entire museum would need to be closed for a month and a half to set up another exhibition, and wondered how, if they had no visitors, they made money during that time. That, too, is a good question which I was...
Read moreThe Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade is a striking fusion of visionary architecture and cultural dynamism. Situated in Ušće Park, where the Sava and Danube rivers converge, its geometric glass-and-concrete structure—dubbed the “crystal at the confluence”—commands attention with its bold modernist design.
Architects Ivan Antić and Ivanka Raspopović crafted this 1965 masterpiece to harmonize with its verdant surroundings, featuring cascading cubes and skylights that flood the interior with natural light, creating an almost ethereal ambiance for art exploration.
The museum’s allure extends beyond its walls. Sculptures by iconic 20th-century Yugoslav artists dot the lawns, blending art with nature and inviting visitors to wander through an open-air gallery. Inside, the collections are equally captivating, spanning over 35,000 works from Serbian and Balkan modernists like Sava Šumanović. Rotating exhibitions, like the acclaimed "Sequences" retrospective or Erwin Wurm’s immersive installations, ensure fresh perspectives with every visit.
Accessibility is seamless, with the museum nestled in New Belgrade’s well-connected urban grid. Public transport links, including buses and trams, make it a hassle-free destination for both locals and travelers.
Whether you’re drawn to avant-garde art, architectural innovation, or tranquil riverside strolls, this museum is an unmissable cultural beacon—a testament to Belgrade’s thriving...
