Museum of Applied Art
About This Museum
People don't just come to the Museum of Applied Art for a quiet afternoon; they come to touch the texture of history, to see how life was lived through the beautiful, functional objects that filled Serbian homes and pockets for centuries. You'll find yourself pausing before a stunning 19th-century divan, its velvet worn by generations, then marveling at the quiet shock of seeing a tiny silver coin, struck when Alexander the Great was a contemporary figure. It’s this incredible range—from grand furniture and intricate metalwork to delicate textiles—that makes the collection so compelling. The overall impression is one of intimate connection, a place where art isn't just for looking but for understanding the daily lives and artistry of those who came before us.
Collection Highlights
The numismatic collection is a star, featuring coins dating back to the 4th century BCE. Alongside these ancient relics, you'll find exquisite examples of 20th-century Yugoslav design and opulent 19th-century furniture.
