Brilliant museum! A comprehensive tour of history of the area and human activity since the year dot ! Really well presented exhibits in chronological order. Leave yourself about three hours to study everything. I had to leave after two and a half hours to catch the train back to Belgrade - so plan carefully if you want to make the most of the information and enjoy the artifacts. A little bit of everything but with enough detail to learn from. Contrary to what other reviewers have said there must have been enough information in English, certainly with 19th and 20th century displays there were English flyers to read, the curator also introduced himself - probably thinking we had got lost or locked ourselves in a cupboard as we took so long to study the artifacts - and talked to us in English and to my wife in Serbian. Yes, my criticism of all Serbian museums is there isn't enough books and literature to buy at the museum shop in English, as most Europeans will have this as their second or third language. (Tesla's Museum in Belgrade is another example of overbooked tours for English speakers, but no printed material at all to buy in the shop- a marketing nightmare and lost income from tourists, who will spend more) . The best displays for me? . .. neolithic stone tools (rivalling the British Museum). .. Roman display and helmets (a world first in quality and quantity) even though I live near the old Roman City of Exeter, England, where we are all 'Romaned-out' . .. Traditional costumes, which seem much more vividly displayed than in the basement of the Belgrade Museum . . and of course the traditional pre-war farming implements. Out of ten, I would award this museum twelve points in a Eurocontest. . . . and of course I will return, if only for that missing half hour needed to walk down the traditional 'Serbian Street'. Many thanks to the team who put these...

As you know, once upon a time this region was controlled by Austria Hungarians and it was the border with the Ottoman Empire. Today there are still differences between northern and central Serbia. You can see the difference even in their traditions clothes. If you come to visit this beautiful city, add this museum to your list. Entrance is 200 Serbian dinar per person.
Note: For the ones criticizing the lack of English translation; There is no translation on the walls. In each room, there are some brochures somewhere in the room. Find that and match the titles with each brochure. On the walls, titles...
Read moreGreat experience. The ticket prices are quite affordable, especially considering the size of the museum and the richness of the collection. There’s a truly impressive number of artifacts on display, among which the Roman helmets stand out as a highlight, they're iconic and part of what the museum is best known for.
