National Museum of Serbia

The National Museum of Serbia (Narodni Muzej in Serbian) stands in Belgrade, on Republic Square, and was founded in 1844. It is the country's most important museum institution, holding more than 400,000 objects, including many foreign works. Its painting holdings comprise over 5,600 pictures, with strong representation of French art and of Serbian painting from the eighteenth to the twentieth century. Among the artists featured on the website are Uroš Predić, with two works, Happy Brothers and None, Paja Jovanović, with Takovo Uprising, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, with Nude. The building was originally erected as a mortgage bank headquarters and was remodelled until 2009.
