Museum of Yugoslavia, Belgrade

The Museum of Yugoslavia, located in Belgrade, Serbia, is a prominent public history museum dedicated to chronicling the periods of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and Socialist Yugoslavia, as well as the life of Josip Broz Tito. Established in 1996 by the Government of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the museum was initially named the Museum of the History of Yugoslavia.

In 2016, the museum was renamed the Museum of Yugoslavia. It is the most visited museum in Serbia, attracting 120,000 visitors annually. The museum complex spans three buildings-25 May Museum, House of Flowers, and Old Museum-covering a total area of 5,253 square meters within a 3.2-hectare park. One of the notable features of the museum is Tito's grave, which is located in the House of Flowers.

The Museum of Yugoslavia aims to provide a modern interpretation of Yugoslav heritage and history, encouraging visitors to engage actively with the past to better understand the present. Its mission includes fostering open dialogue, exchanging knowledge, and exploring the social and cultural phenomena of the 20th century. The museum's programs and activities are designed to promote social memory and a culture of remembrance related to the development of the Yugoslav idea, from the creation of the Yugoslav state as a kingdom to its breakup in the early 1990s.

The foundation of the museum in 1996 followed the dissolution of the Memorial Center “Josip Broz Tito” and the Museum of the Revolution of Yugoslav Nations and Ethnic Minorities. This transition occurred in the context of the wars and the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s, during which the previous institutions were seen as burdensome remnants of the past. However, the collections, histories, and documentation from these institutions became the basis for the new museum, transforming it from a mere storage place for "old and unnecessary things" into a dynamic center for exploring and acknowledging Yugoslav heritage.
