Museum of Yugoslavia

I would love to give a 5/5 stars, but this museum needs a bit of modernisation. The old museum is quite chaotic. One one side you have the history of Yugoslavia and on the other side the presents Josip Broz Tito got. But for a Yugoslavian freak, like I am, this museum is worth a visit. PS Would be great to open a Yugo-Rock musuem/hall there also!

For just 600 dinars (about $6), the Museum of Yugoslavia gives you access to three incredible sites: the House of Flowers, where Tito and his wife Jovanka are laid to rest, the Old Museum showcasing fascinating gifts Tito received from leaders all over the world, and the New Museum, which is partially under renovation but still adds valuable context. Hyde Park restaurant is only a short walk away, making it easy to pair culture with a good meal. The House of Flowers is moving, with Tito’s desk and office preserved, while the Old Museum is a treasure chest of artifacts that highlight just how respected he was internationally. What ties it all together is understanding the scale of Tito’s influence—when he died in 1980, his funeral drew leaders from 128 countries, one of the largest gatherings of presidents and prime ministers in history. A visit here is more than a museum stop; it’s an inspiring way to understand Yugoslavia’s story and why Tito remains such a monumental figure.

One of the best museums in Serbia (and not just Serbia). Amazing both for locals and for English speaking people (everything is bilingual). It is easy to navigate, but also to get lost in the history, all the artifacts and stories, posters, photos… After 3 hours of exploring, I can’t wait to visit one more time. Truly a great place. All staff is really kind and helpful. Parking is easily found, toilets are clean.

The Museum of Yugoslavia is a small but fascinating place, spread across a few stages. It offers a great look into history with photos, artifacts, and products from the Yugoslav era. There are sections about important figures, weapons, traditional clothing, culture, music, and everyday life. It really gives you a sense of how people lived, worked, and had fun during that time. A very nice experience to visit.

The museum is inviting both for its garden spaces and displays. The exhibits capture both Yugoslavian daily life and nostalgia for Tito. The museum is open and “Living” in a manner contrasting other museums that can feel static and dusty. Well worth visiting in its own right but also as a counterpoint to similarly themed museums in Eastern Europe and Eurasia.

Really great museums. Interstingly, it was the Old Museum (the one that is about Yugoslavia) the one that left me kinda unsatisfied. I found it quite superficial and I wish it had more information about how Yugoslavia was formed, it was also not interactive at all which made it s bit boring since even thought the actual information is translated, for obvious reasons most imagery and historical items are in Serbian so you don't really know what you are looking at. However, the House of Flowers is definitely worth the visit and it is quite special, as well as the art gallery that is included in the ticket. Amazing souvenirs too.

A respectable, firm, powerful and fair leader, enabling a strong and self reliant country, Yugoslavia. Till his death bed, Tito would not have imagined that the USSR would sell themselves to the USA, the western block would destroy Yugoslavia, and their country was deep in a death trap from the IMF & World bank. He would not have imagined that his country (except Serbia) would be ruled (or puppeted) by yet another empire.

Weird history museum that covers the rise of communism in this region through to Tito’s death in 1980. No mention at all of subsequent ethnic squabbles, NATO bombing etc. While to be fair it’s billed as the Museum of Yugoslavia, it seems weird to stop the history without properly covering the breakup of the country and all the problems that ensued. If you’d like to see dozens of random trinkets and treasures gifted to Tito by seemingly every country in the world, this is the place for you. They do give some insights into international diplomacy during the communist years I guess. Plus Tito’s tomb is here. A modest entry fee applies. The small cafe only has drinks, not food.
