Srpska čitaonica "Laza Kostić"
About This Museum
People come to the Srpska čitaonica 'Laza Kostić' not just for history, but to feel the quiet weight of it in the air. They wander through rooms that have been a sanctuary for writers, thinkers, and revolutionaries since the 19th century. You can almost hear the rustle of old newspapers and the murmur of long-ago debates over coffee. It’s less a museum and more a living, breathing piece of Sombor's soul.
Collection Highlights
The heart of the place is Laza Kostic's personal library, his spectacles and manuscripts resting quietly as if he just stepped out. Look for the original reading room with its deep green lampshades casting a warm glow on worn wooden tables, a scene unchanged for generations.
Visitor Information
You'll find it tucked away on Čitaonička street—a name that tells you everything you need to know. Just ring the bell; someone is usually there to let you in for a look around.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a graceful, pale yellow building that perfectly embodies Vojvodina's Biedermeier style, its symmetrical facade and tall, shuttered windows speak of a quieter, more refined era.
