Military Museum in Belgrade

The Army Museum or Military Museum is one of the main tourist attractions of Belgrade. The immense collection of weapons tells a sad story about all of the armed conflicts on these lands and the ferocities that came with them. Those who visit this museum will exit it with a deeper understanding of Serbia, Serbian history and the unbreakable spirit of the local population.

The Military museum is located within the Belgrade’s Fortress (Kalemgdan). The building of the museum was constructed in 1924, for the Military-Geographical Institute. In 1956, this building was given to the Military Museum where it has been located ever since.
At first, the Military Museum was located in a building from the Turkish period next to the Roman Well at the Belgrade’s Fortress. It was destroyed during the First World War, while its collection was stolen by the occupational troops (German and Austro-Hungarian troops). The collection of the museum was also decimated during the Second World War.
