Maison natale de Živojin Mišić
About This Museum
Tucked away in the charming village of Struganik, this isn't just another historic house; it's the very birthplace of one of Serbia's most celebrated military leaders, Voivode Živojin Mišić. You step directly onto the worn wooden floors where his story began. The museum feels incredibly personal, preserving the authentic atmosphere of a 19th-century Serbian rural home. It’s a quiet, powerful place that connects you to the man long before he became a legend.
Collection Highlights
The heart of the collection is the humble dwelling itself, with its massive stone-and-wood pećina fireplace and traditional furnishings that speak to a simpler time. Personal artifacts, including photographs and documents, trace Mišić's journey from this small room to his pivotal role in World War I. Look for his iconic šajkača cap and ceremonial sword, which feel especially poignant displayed here.
Visitor Information
It's a compact and intimate visit, perfect for a quiet hour of reflection. The surrounding yard and views of the countryside are just as much a part of the experience as the house itself. Since it's a smaller site, it’s always a good idea to check local opening times before you make the trip out.
