Nikola Tesla Museum — Attraction in City of Belgrade

Very poor museum for a national hero. Serbia needs to invest more in this. The criticisms in other reviews are all correct. My suggestion to make it more enjoyable is to arrive at 9:45am, for the first English group tour of the day at 10am. Then the sun does not hit the queue outside, and there are fewer people inside. (Check the website for the time of the first English tour of each day, it changes apparently.)

Our guide unfortunately spoke too quickly, swallowed his words, and had an unfunny sense of humour which made the experience painful. The whole tour is delivered by this guide, so the delivery really needs to be good, and it can be improved a lot.

The exhibits are poorly explained, so you can't even gain much knowledge by walking around yourself. Why not include an explanation of how alternating current works? Tesla's greatest invention isn't even explained in simple terms. Usually science-literate people will attend this museum, and there's nothing for them to connect with.

The 15min video is fine, but then why even have a museum? The whole point of being in a physical space is to walk around and experience Tesla's genius. I think the video is a lazy way out. The museum should walk us through the same information in a more tangible way. Make it exciting for visitors, allow us to linger on some ideas longer, not race through a video.

The coil-ion experiments are cute, but this is not good enough in my view. There should be ways kids can interact by themselves, so they can get excited by physics. We're told not to touch anything. Boring! Give us something to engage us, that's the job of a museum of physics. Doesn't have to be electrified or dangerous, just something interesting. It's a problem when the word you see written the most in a museum is 'don't'.

It was explained to us that the most important thing about the museum was having Tesla's actual ashes in an urn. Really? That's what makes people come to the museum? Absolute rubbish. The most important thing is Tesla's ideas, and they are poorly communicated.

In general the physics was never explained properly, so you leave without understanding why Tesla was a genius. Why was it hard to do what he did? Why did his experiences work? What makes his ideas stand out?

So much more could be done with this museum. And the confusing entry requirements are just salt in the wounds. The museum owners should hire someone to overhaul this museum entirely.

Sorry, Serbia, this is embarrassing. Please...

Unless you arrive perfectly on time and are lucky enough to fit into the next batch of visitors, you can expect to spend the next (up to) 60 minutes waiting infront of the entrance under scorching sun. There’s only a tiny tent available which fits

This place doesnt have a bathroom.

I recently visited a museum that left me with mixed feelings due to a significant drawback - the absence of restroom facilities. While the museum showcased an impressive collection and offered a captivating experience, the lack of toilets was a major inconvenience that hindered my overall enjoyment.

As a visitor, it is essential to have access to restroom facilities, especially during longer visits. Unfortunately, the museum failed to provide this basic necessity, forcing visitors to either hold it in or leave the premises to find a nearby restroom. This not only disrupts the flow of the visit but also detracts from the overall experience.

Moreover, the absence of restrooms can be particularly problematic for families with young children or elderly visitors who may require more frequent access to facilities. It is disappointing that the museum did not take into consideration the diverse needs of its visitors, as this oversight can significantly impact their comfort and enjoyment.

While I understand that some older buildings may face limitations in terms of infrastructure, it is crucial for museums to prioritize the provision of restroom facilities. This oversight reflects a lack of attention to visitor comfort and convenience, which should be a top priority for any cultural institution.

In conclusion, the museum's failure to provide restroom facilities greatly detracted from the overall experience. Visitors should not have to compromise their comfort or leave the premises to find basic amenities. I hope that the museum management takes this feedback into consideration and addresses this issue promptly to enhance the overall...
