Museum of the Banjica Concentration Camp
About This Museum
People don't come to the Museum of the Banjica Concentration Camp for a pleasant day out; they come to bear witness. Tucked away on a quiet residential street in Belgrade, this small, solemn space occupies the former administration building of the actual camp. Inside, a large scale model immediately conveys the camp's terrifying scope, while personal artifacts—a worn-out shoe, a faded photograph—tell silent, heartbreaking stories of the over 23,000 Serbs, Jews, and Roma imprisoned here. You leave not just informed, but deeply moved by the weight of this hallowed ground.
Collection Highlights
The detailed scale model of the entire camp complex and a collection of personal items that belonged to prisoners, which make the staggering statistics feel intensely personal.
Visitor Information
It's located at Veljka Lukića Kurjaka 33; it's a modest museum, so you won't need more than an hour. Just be prepared for a sobering and emotionally powerful experience.
Architecture & Building
A simple, unassuming stucco building that was originally part of the camp itself, making its current role as a memorial all the more poignant.
