Military Museum, Belgrade
The Military Museum is a museum located within the grounds of the Belgrade Fortress. Its focus is entirely on items used in military warfare. It was founded in 1878 by Prince Milan Obrenovic IV as a celebration of Serbia's independence. The first permanent display was unveiled in 1904.
The museum was first located in a small building near the Roman Well. It was destroyed in World War I, as were most of its exhibits. It was reopened in 1937 but didn't move to its existing home until 1956. The building it occupies was originally built for the Military-Geographical Institute in 1924.
The museum has more than 3,000 items on display. Some of these include Greek helmets, Roman swords, Serbian armor and medieval weapons. The museum also displays modern firearms, dioramas and archeological findings. There are collections of decorations, military flags and uniforms as well as artwork and photography.
