About National Museum of Serbia
Serbia's oldest and largest museum, on Republic Square, home to the priceless medieval Miroslav Gospel and a rich collection of European masters from Rubens to Picasso.
The National Museum of Serbia, in a grand domed building on Republic Square, is the country's oldest and largest museum, founded in 1844 and holding more than 400,000 objects. After a long closure, it reopened in 2018 with its collections splendidly displayed across three floors, tracing the region from prehistory to the modern age.
Its greatest treasure is the Miroslav Gospel, a richly illuminated manuscript of the late twelfth century, listed on UNESCO's Memory of the World register and one of the most important documents in Serbian history. The galleries also hold a remarkable collection of European masters, with works by Rubens, Titian, Van Gogh, Monet, Picasso and Matisse, and antiquities including an Egyptian mummy.
