The Military Museum in Belgrade is a museum institution that collects, studies, and presents various items for military use, primarily weapons, uniforms, battle flags, military documents, and artworks with military themes. It is located on the first bastion of the southeastern front of the Belgrade Fortress, in a building erected in 1924 for the purposes of the Military Geographical Institute, which was transferred to the Museum in 1956. Surrounded by city walls and the largest Belgrade Park, Kalemegdan, it represents one of the symbols of the Belgrade Fortress.
A significant museum treasury is also the photo archive, which contains around 100,000 photographs and negatives dating from the beginnings of photography in the 1840s to the present, including a collection of original photographs from the time of the Serbian-Turkish wars, both Balkan wars, World War I and World War II, the collection of the Central Press Bureau, and especially valuable photographs from the State Commission for the Investigation of War Crimes.
The most significant items are flags from the 19th century, weapons of the Serbian medieval army, richly decorated artisanal weapons made in the Balkans (Peć, Prizren, Sarajevo, Foča, Kotor), as well as items of Serbian rulers and military commanders.
The museum also houses weapons that were used during the nineties in the area of the former Yugoslavia. In one room, there is the weaponry of the Yugoslav Army used during the war in Kosovo and NATO aggression, as well as confiscated weapons from Albanian terrorists and NATO soldiers.
Definitely take an afternoon to leisurely walk around and visit all the exhibits of this museum, which is truly rich and worthy of every attention. As it traces these areas from the oldest times when they were inhabited by the then tribes, up to the present day, there is really much to see and gain insight into the techniques of warfare and the historical conditions of the era that the replicas and exhibits represent. We certainly plan to return once more and carefully visit all the rooms again and enjoy the history and knowledge based on what we see.
