SUMMARY:Between Trapeza and Sofra. Metal Vessels from the 13th to the 19th Century in the Collections of the National Museum of Serbia
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition “Between the Trapeza and Sofra. Metal Vessels from the 13th to the 19th Century in the Collections of the National Museum of Serbia” presents metal vessels collected over more than 150 years\, diverse in type and purpose\, material and technique. You can see silver and gilded plates and glasses that were an integral part of ceremonial tables and personal valuables\, as well as those made of other non-ferrous metals used daily for storing\, preparing and serving food and drinks. Hand-washing utensils were also considered part of tableware\, so the small number of preserved objects used for that purpose shows the attention paid to their decoration.   \nOf the total number of 81 metal vessels from the collections of the Department of the Middle Ages of the National Museum of Serbia exhibited on this occasion\, almost half are silver\, sometimes gilded\, while the rest are made of base metals and alloys\, such as copper and lead\, brass and bronze. \nThe presence of influences from various cultural environments is noticeable both on vessels created during and on the territory of the Serbian medieval state\, and on areas inhabited by the Serbian people in the Ottoman Empire. Simple Byzantine forms\, plant and animal ornamentation characteristic of Western Gothic art\, as well as rumi\, hataj and saz motifs present on works of Ottoman provenance are encountered. In some examples\, these elements coexist\, and on a smaller number of vessels\, religious iconography is also represented.   \nWith their diversity\, the metal vessels in the exhibition “Between the Trapeza and Sofra” provide a glimpse into the types and shapes of vessels found\, used\, and often made in the territory of traditional Serbian lands from the early 13th to the dawn of the 20th century. The desire was expressed to bring this long period closer to visitors through the method of display and provide insight into the customs and habits related to dining and other activities that accompany or precede it. In addition to their historical and ethnographic value\, the exhibited vessels are also of great artistic importance\, since many of them display unique iconographic and decorative solutions that cannot be found outside the collection of the National Museum of Serbia.   \n

SUMMARY:Thematic Guidance “Cups of Balkan Gentleman” Through the Exhibition “Between Trapeza and Sofra”
DESCRIPTION:Thematic guidance through the exhibition “Between the Trapeza and the Sofra. Metal Vessels from the 13th to the 19th Century in the Collections of the National Museum of Serbia” related to the topic “Cups of the Balkan Gentlemen” will be organized on Wednesday\, March 5th\, 2025\, at 6 p.m. and on Saturday\, March 8th\, 2025\, at 11 a.m. \nTatjana Mihailović\, PhD\, museum advisor of the National Museum Kraljevo and art historian Jelena Marković will guide you through the part of the exhibition that includes the most luxurious type of tableware\, made of silver\, often gilded and decorated with many representations. \nThe place of the glass in feudal society\, which lasted in our region from the Middle Ages through the entire Ottoman period\, is extremely important\, because they are part of the objects that denoted high social status. In various types of social rituals\, such as feasts held in royal or feudal halls\, glasses play an important role in toasts where individuals stand out. Therefore\, they are often inscribed with the owner’s name and are richly decorated with various symbols.

SUMMARY:Thematic Guidance “In the Service of God and Faithful People: Cult Metal Vessels” Through the Exhibition “Between Trapeza and Sofra”
DESCRIPTION:Thematic guidance entitled “In the Service of God and the Faithful People: Cult Metal Vessels” through the exhibition “Between Trapeza and Sofra. Metal Vessels from the 13th to the 19th Century in the Collections of the National Museum of Serbia” will be organized on Wednesday\, March 12th\, Friday\, March 14th\, 2025\, at 6 p.m.\, and on Saturday\, March 15th\, 2025\, at 11 a.m.     \nTatjana Mihailović\, PhD\, museum advisor of the National Museum Kraljevo\, and art historian Jelena Marković will guide you through the part of the exhibition that includes various types of vessels that were used within the Christian and Islamic cults\, which are covered in a wide time span by the exhibition “Between Trapeza and Sofra”. \nVessels intended exclusively for the needs of cult occupy a special place in the liturgical life of believers and the Church. Sacred vessels\, such as the chalice and the diskos\, have not changed much in shape over the centuries\, while small vessels\, such as the chalice\, are directly used for the preparation of the Eucharist. Some others were used to store holy water or wine. On the other hand\, within the Islamic cult we have prayer ablution cups or Sufi cups with prayer texts. The form and decoration of all these vessels is adapted to the cult needs.

SUMMARY:Imaginary Library. Sculptures and Installations by Gordana Kaljalović Odanović
DESCRIPTION:The work of Gordana Kaljalović Odanović represents an important and indispensable part of Serbian fine arts\, which emerged and lasted over a wide and very dynamic time span\, from the last decade of the 20th century to the present day. She is a witness and participant in those artistic aspirations and practices that will overcome the traditional understanding of sculpture. She graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade in 1975 (sculpture major) and from the Faculty of Philology of the University of Belgrade in 1977 (English Language and Literature group). She received her master’s degree from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade. Since 1993\, she has been teaching at the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad. She worked as a full professor at the Department of Sculpture at the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad from 2006-2016. \nGordana has built her reputation on sophisticated\, lyrical compositions and a characteristic artistic-poetic process of contrasting relationships between materials and energy: wood\, stone\, ceramics versus glass\, tracing paper\, paper\, light. Through a three-dimensional structure\, the artist thus visualizes and emphasizes a network of thoughts\, emotions\, intuitions\, and messages. These are new\, hybrid forms\, both in the material and conceptual sense\, that connect different fragments of the material\, tangible\, and symbolic\, imaginary worlds. Gordana’s sculptures\, objects\, and installations lead us from one reality to another\, expressing a sensitive\, feminine ambivalence between opposing fields: media novelty and classical\, almost perfect manuality. \nOne of her major themes\, which she has been researching and visually structuring for a decade or more\, is the phenomenon of the book. Through its form\, the book is subjected to various forms of examination\, commentary\, and criticism\, from the smallest unit – the letter – to the book as a “field of power”. Her sculptures – books thus become critically positioned in relation to certain social\, political\, and cultural phenomena and/or specific literary works. Context is an integral part of the artistic work\, which also determines the plastic-visual form of her work – from a scroll\, a book as a landscape (Travel Diary) to a book with nails (Balkan Expression)\, a wounded book in bandages\, to the Sound Book (in which the artist reads the poem “I am looking for a word” by the Polish poet Wisława Szymborska) and installations such as Archaeology of Memory\, as a simulation and interpretation of the library burned in the fire of April 6th\, 1941. \nThe artist follows the view that there is nothing outside the text\, and that words\, language\, and books seek spatialization. The range of forms through which thought is articulated determines her visual representation\, often situated through a non-sculptural language\, yet with a completely clear and pure aesthetic. The very books\, texts and words of Paul Valéry\, Jovan Dučić\, Orhan Pamuk\, George Orwell are transformed into a sculptural sign\, whose semiology brings new meanings and manifestations. Her “Imaginary Library” therefore represents “an analysis of impressions\, memories\, imagination\, recollection\, the entire fund that makes up the mechanism of the image in time”.

SUMMARY:Meeting of the Descendants of the Second World War Concentration Camp Inmates
DESCRIPTION:Considering the tragic fate of our people during World War II and the intention to mark eight decades since the end of this conflict in Europe\, the National Museum Kraljevo is organizing a program dedicated to the fates of military and civilian prisoners\, entitled “Remember Me\, Descendant!” on Friday\, May 9th\, 2025\, starting at 6 p.m. \nFollowing the short April War and the capitulation of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia\, a significant portion of its soldiers—those who were unable to evade capture – were forcibly taken to various camps across what was then Germany\, which in the spring of 1941 stretched from Norway in the north to the Mediterranean shores. In the later years of the war\, to support agriculture and industry in the Third Reich\, as labor shortages became severe due to wartime destruction\, members of our people were deported beyond their homeland as civilian prisoners. \nThe goal of our project—of which the scheduled Victory Day program is just the beginning—is to document the names\, testimonies\, and memories of civilian and military prisoners through conversations with their descendants\, preserving their stories from oblivion. Research of this kind\, which has previously been conducted at our institution\, is invaluable\, as it provides insight into the lives of our ancestors from the moment they were captured and transported into the unknown\, into how labor and existence were organized in camps or\, in the case of civilian prisoners\, on agricultural estates and in factories. Equally significant is the collection and documentation of letters\, photographs\, and items related to the destinies of our forcibly taken compatriots. These documents can shed light on the prisoners’ daily lives\, the challenges they faced\, the general living conditions during wartime\, and the circumstances of their liberation and return home. \nThe program consists of two parts. The first includes two brief lectures reviewing the circumstances before and during the short April War\, as well as the situation in occupied Serbia and Kraljevo after the capitulation. The second\, far more important part\, is dedicated to discussions with the descendants of our taken compatriots and the recording of their testimonies. \nWe take this opportunity to invite all our fellow citizens\, the descendants of military and civilian prisoners\, to take part in our program and share their memories of their ancestors and their destinies with us.

SUMMARY:50 Years of the Children’s May Art Salon
DESCRIPTION:The Children’s May Art Salon was established back in 1974. Since then\, this event dedicated to children has been held continuously for 50 years\, marking an invaluable place in the history of the Museum and the city of Kraljevo. The Salon was founded with the aim of affirming and showcasing children’s perspectives\, imagination\, work\, and talent in the realm of visual and artistic culture.    \nThe first art historian employed as a curator at the National Museum Kraljevo was Milorad Mihailović. In an effort to “make cooperation with primary schools more concrete and substantive\,” Mihailović initiated the Children’s May Art Salon in 1974 under the auspices of the National Museum. The event was conceived to provide an overview of artistic creations by primary school children from the Kraljevo municipality and to present the talents and creativity of Kraljevo students to the wider public. The National Museum Kraljevo is among the first cultural institutions to have begun organizing this type of children’s art presentation\, making the Children’s May Art Salon one of the oldest such events in Serbia.     \nThrough participation in the jury\, many prominent Kraljevo artists (Milan Đokić\, Pavle Popović\, Radoš Rakuš\, Danka Pribaković Kostić\, Velimir Zelenović\, Nenad Stefanović\, Dragan Pešić\, Slobodan Marinković\, Boban Bosić\, Svetlana Jevtić\, Dušica Radosavljević Jovanchević\, Matija Marković\, Alisa Matović\, Svetlana Vuksanović\, Jovana Banjanac\, Jakov Jakovljević) have contributed to elevating the artistic and qualitative standards of the exhibited selections. Some Kraljevo artists had their first exhibitions at the Children’s Salon (Jelena Šalinić\, Ivan Milunović\, Bojan Vuksanović\, Danka Dimitrijević\, Nenad Dimitrijević\, Jovana Banjanac\, Andrea Leshević\, Mina Bosić\, and others).  \nAt the 23rd Children’s May Art Salon\, held in 1996\, a significant shift in the exhibition concept took place. In addition to ten equal awards\, a newly established main prize was introduced – the Milorad Mihailović Award—named in honor of the Salon’s founder and long-time director of the National Museum Kraljevo\, who passed away prematurely in 1995.

SUMMARY:50th Children’s May Art Salon
DESCRIPTION:The 50th Children’s May Art Salon competition was thematic this year\, as the exhibition was organized to mark a significant anniversary—half a century of this museum event\, continuously held since 1974.   \nThe theme of this year’s competition\, titled “A Childhood Memory” provided a broad conceptual framework for creative and artistic expression. The exhibition showcased the most successful visual compositions in which participants depicted their most significant childhood memories. The chosen theme allowed for artistic creation across various genres and motifs – such as toys\, objects\, digital and television content\, video games\, events\, people\, places\, landscapes\, and more – that held special importance during the participants’ upbringing.    \nThe goal of the theme was to foster a sense of shared cultural and emotional heritage among children\, as well as to encourage empathy and mutual understanding through the sharing of personal stories. The intention was that\, after five decades of presenting different topics explored in art education classes\, key elements of material and spiritual culture in generations of children growing up in the present time would be recognized.

SUMMARY:Exclamations of Sincere Enthusiasm: The Ephemeral Spectacle and Journey of King Alexander and Queen Draga Obrenović through Serbia in 1901
DESCRIPTION:Promotion of the book by Miloš Timotijević\, PhD and Aleksandar Marušić “Exclamations of Sincere Enthusiasm: The Ephemeral Spectacle and Journey of King Alexander and Queen Draga Obrenović through Serbia in 1901” will take place at the Gallery of the National Museum in Kraljevo\, on Thursday\, June 12th\, 2025\, starting at 7 p.m. The publication was issued by the Museum of the Rudnik-Takovo Region in Gornji Milanovac and the National Museum Čačak.    \nThe book explores the symbolic and political dimensions of royal visits within the context of a significant political moment. The visit was organized following the death of King Milan Obrenović\, the adoption of an imposed constitution\, the announcement that Queen Draga was not pregnant\, and the postponement of the visit to the Russian Tsar\, which was intended to secure international legitimacy for the Queen. The journey included stops in Smederevo\, Kragujevac\, Kraljevo\, the monasteries of Žiča and Studenica\, Čačak\, Požega\, Užice\, Dobrinja\, Takovo\, Gornji Milanovac\, the monasteries of Vujan\, Vraćevšnica\, and Divostin\, before concluding in Belgrade via Kragujevac and Mladenovac. The book also examines the organization of the Queen’s birthday celebration in the capital\, military maneuvers in Ub\, and a visit to Niš.    \nThroughout their travels\, the royal couple used public ceremonies and rituals to reinforce their legitimacy and demonstrate their connection with the people. The visit had a significant impact on the daily lives of ordinary people\, as many places became centers of public celebrations – an event never repeated in the history of these towns\, at least not in the manner of 1901. Special emphasis is placed on analyzing religious and national symbols\, which strengthened ties to Serbia’s historical heritage. These public appearances functioned as a kind of “performance\,” in which the ruling couple assumed the role of national protectors while simultaneously attempting to mitigate political crises and opposition pressure.     \nNumerous illustrations and documents\, including lists of individuals decorated before\, during\, and after the visit\, as well as important toasts\, speeches\, and addresses given during these festivities\, further enrich the understanding of the historical context and provide readers with a valuable insight into the structure and character of these visits. \nAlthough these rituals were designed as a means to reinforce state stability\, the authors also analyze their ephemeral nature\, pointing out that the royal performances had a limited impact on long-term public support. Ultimately\, the book highlights the political failure of these public appearances and the acceleration of the conspirators’ decision to assassinate the King and Queen as a kind of “anti-performance” aimed at dismantling the symbolic power of the last Obrenovićs.

SUMMARY:Journey of King Milan Obrenović to the East: Pilgrimage and the Culture of the Orient at the Serbian Court
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition “Journey of King Milan Obrenović to the East: Pilgrimage and the Culture of the Orient at the Serbian Court” of the Museum in Smederevo will be officially opened in the Gallery of the National Museum Kraljevo\, as part of the Žica Spiritual Assembly “Transfiguration 2025”\, on Saturday\, August 16th\, 2025\, starting at 8 p.m. The exhibition will be opened by the authors\, Snezana Cvetković\, PhD\, museum advisor of the Museum in Smederevo\, and Dejan Vukelić\, MA\, technical advisor of the Institute of Mathematics of the Serbian Academy of Sciences in Belgrade. \nThe basic idea and inspiration for the creation of the exhibition “Journey of King Milan Obrenović to the East: Pilgrimage and the Culture of the Orient at the Serbian Court” came from the book by the adjutant of King Milan Obrenović and his companion on the journey to the East in 1889\, Colonel and later General Mihail Rašić\, which he published under the title “With His Royal Highness King Milan in the East” in 1891/1892. \nThe key points of departure for the exhibition include the personality of Milan Obrenović\, his abdication and motives for the journey to the Holy Land\, the spiritual transformation he experienced at the tomb of Christ\, the perception of the discourse of the Orient in the Serbian environment and its influence on the shaping of the court and court culture in the Kingdom of Serbia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. \nShortly after a series of turbulent events in public and private life\, Milan Obrenović\, accompanied by his closest associates\, under the pseudonym “Count of Takovo”\, set off on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land\, with stops in Constantinople\, Beirut and Damascus. The picturesque journey of King Milan Obrenović took place in the period from March 17th to June 13th\, 1889\, according to the old calendar. The Count of Takovo traveled by “lightning” train\, ship\, post car\, riding a horse\, camped in the desert… He met numerous personalities\, from the Sultan in Constantinople\, the Patriarch of Constantinople and Jerusalem\, Bedouins and Maronites\, to the barber from Smederevo in Damascus\, and we\, inspired by this event\, have taken you on a museological journey to the East. \nThe exhibition prints include photographs from the trip\, photographs of the Arab salons of the Old Palace in Belgrade\, which are kept in Belgrade museums and libraries: the Belgrade City Museum\, the Museum of Applied Arts\, the Historical Museum of Serbia in Belgrade and the National Library of Serbia\, as well as photographs from the aforementioned book by Mihailo Rašić. Part of the exhibition is a series of postcards\, photographs and books from private collections\, as well as a carpet with the motif of the “Rašić Pattern” from the Ethnological Collection of the National Museum in Kraljevo. \nThe Arab Salon in the former Old Belgrade Palace of Obrenović was modeled by conservator and restorer MA Snežana Mijić using virtual reality\, as well as by complexly making a replica of the ajami panel\, i.e. the wooden polychrome paneling that decorated the walls of the aforementioned salon. \nDirected by Tibor Varga from Novi Sad\, a documentary film was made about this journey and its historical and artistic significance\, which is discussed in the film by the authors of the exhibition\, and excerpts from the book are interpreted by actor Marko Nedeljković. \nThe University Library “Svetozar Marković” in Belgrade has digitized Mihailo Rašić’s book “With His Royal Highness King Milan in the East” in order to make it available to as many users as possible. There is a QR code on the back of the exhibition catalog that leads to the digitized books. \nThe project “Journey of King Milan Obrenović to the East: Pilgrimage and the Culture of the Orient at the Serbian Court” was supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Serbia and the City of Smederevo.

SUMMARY:Discreet Hero of Heritage: Milorad Miki Mihailović\, Art Historian and Director of the National Museum Kraljevo
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition “Discreet Hero of Heritage: Milorad Miki Mihailović\, Art Historian and Director of the National Museum Kraljevo” will be officially opened at the Gallery of the National Museum Kraljevo\, as part of the Žiča Spiritual Assembly “Transfiguration 2025\,” on Saturday\, August 16\, 2025\, starting at 8 p.m.  \nMilorad Miki Mihailović was the first art historian\, curator of the Art Collection of the National Museum Kraljevo\, and director of the institution from 1979 to 1995\, when he passed away unexpectedly. September 2025 marks 30 years since his passing\, which is one of the reasons why\, in the year celebrating 75 years of the Museum’s work and 30 years of the new Gallery located on the ground floor of the old school building\, an exhibition is being organized in honor of one of the most significant curators of this museum institution\, which he successfully led for sixteen years.     \nFrom the beginning of his work in 1973\, Miki distinguished himself as a key figure in the development of the city’s art scene—a driving force behind numerous projects\, exhibitions\, publications\, and initiatives. He introduced the Museum into the joint publication of the journal “Naša prošlost” (Our Past)\, actively participated in scientific research projects\, and contributed to the formation of art associations.   \nAs director\, he tirelessly fought for a new museum building\, thereby resolving one of the institution’s greatest challenges. The year 1995 was the culmination of his long-standing and selfless effort and work\, when the first phase of adaptation was completed and the new Gallery of the National Museum Kraljevo was officially opened. The institution stepped into a new chapter with great strides – hosting two international scientific conferences\, organizing four major exhibitions\, and preparing a fifth that was still in progress.    \nThen something occurred that was difficult to comprehend for his family\, the institution\, the city\, and the broader cultural community –his unexpected passing on September 20th\, 1995\, at the age of forty-eight: just six months after entering the adapted museum building\, and only a month after the completion of the scientific conference “Žiča – History\, Art\,” at the very beginning of a new museum era.   \nThis exhibition is a modest tribute to the memory of Milorad Miki Mihailović\, a man who pushed boundaries in heritage preservation—quietly but thoughtfully\, consistently and without signs of fatigue\, always moving toward his goals. \nThe exhibition is authored by Tatjana Mihailović\, PhD\, museum advisor at the National Museum Kraljevo\, and Dragan Drašković\, retired museum advisor of the same institution.

SUMMARY:Prince Milan Obrenović (1854-1881): From Baron to a Sovereign
DESCRIPTION:Promotion of the book by Suzana Rajić “Prince Milan Obrenović (1854–1881): From Baron to a Sovereign” will be held at the Gallery of the National Museum Kraljevo\, on Tuesday\, September 16th\, 2025\, starting at 7 p.m. This is the first of three planned volumes that will illuminate the life and reign of one of the most significant – and most controversial – rulers of 19th century Serbia.     \nThe first volume covers the first twenty-seven years of Milan Obrenović’s life. At just 14 years old\, he ascended the Serbian throne\, and by age 22\, he had assumed supreme command of the army and led two wars against the Ottoman Empire. Although often portrayed in historiography and public discourse as a weak and unworthy ruler\, it was during his reign that Serbia gained international recognition of independence (1878)\, expanded its territory by nearly one-third\, was elevated to the status of a kingdom (1882)\, and inaugurated its first railway line between Belgrade and Niš.   \nFor this monograph\, the author conducted extensive research into unpublished archival material across 38 collections housed in 17 institutions in Serbia and abroad – including Belgrade\, Novi Sad\, Kragujevac\, Moscow\, Bucharest\, Vienna\, and London. The book has been published as a luxurious hardcover edition\, featuring nearly 300 illustrations\, many of which are being made available to the academic and general public for the first time.  \nThe significance of the work will be discussed by the author\, professor Suzana Rajić\, PhD\, head of the Chair for the History of the Serbian People in the Modern Era and Director of the Center for Serbian Studies at the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Belgrade\, Danko Leovac\, PhD\, associate professor at the Department of History of the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Belgrade and Darko Gučanin\, historian and director of the National Museum Kraljevo.

SUMMARY:Author’s Guidance Through the Exhibition “Discreet Hero of Heritage”
DESCRIPTION:Author’s guidance by Tatjana Mihailović\, PhD\, museum advisor or the National Museum Kraljevo\, through the exhibition “Discreet Hero of Heritage: Milorad Miki Mihailović\, Art Historian Director of the National Museum Kraljevo” will be held at the Gallery of the National Museum Kraljevo on Tuesday\, September 23rd\, 2025\, starting at 6 p.m. \nMilorad Miki Mihailović was the first art historian and curator of the Art Collection at the National Museum Kraljevo\, as well as the institution’s director from 1979 to 1995\, when he passed away unexpectedly. September 2025 marks thirty years since his passing\, which served as one of the inspirations for this exhibition dedicated to one of the museum’s most influential curators\, who successfully led the institution for sixteen years. \nThis author’s tour opens a window into the Museum during Mihailović’s era\, highlighting the values he cultivated\, and the key areas of his professional and scholarly focus: from the development of Kraljevo’s visual arts scene\, where he initiated numerous exhibitions\, publications\, and cultural projects\, to his collaborations with the Institute for Art History in Belgrade\, his editorial work on the journal “Our Past”\, and his tireless efforts as director to secure a new museum building – the first phase of which was completed in 1995\, when he ceremoniously opened the new Gallery of the National Museum Kraljevo.

SUMMARY:Guided Tour Through the Exhibition “Journey to the East of King Milan Obrenović”
DESCRIPTION:Guided tour of the exhibition “Journey to the East of King Milan Obrenović: Pilgrimage and Oriental Culture at the Serbian Court” will take place at the Gallery of the National Museum Kraljevo on Thursday\, September 25th\, 2025\, starting at 6 p.m. \nThe tour will be led by Nemanja Trifunović\, curator at the National Museum Kraljevo\, who will introduce visitors to the significance of King Milan Obrenović’s journey to the East\, his pilgrimage\, and the ways in which Oriental culture and art found their place at the Serbian court. \nThe exhibition is dedicated to one of the most important royal journeys of the late 19th century – King Milan Obrenović’s visit to the Holy Land in 1889\, shortly after his abdication. Traveling under the pseudonym “Count of Takovo\,” the route took him through Istanbul\, Jerusalem\, Damascus\, and Beirut\, leaving a profound impact on his spiritual life as well as on the cultural and artistic expression of the Serbian court. \nThe display is based on the travel notes of Mihailo Rašić\, the king’s adjutant and companion on this journey\, along with a rich selection of photographs and archival materials from various museum institutions across Serbia. Visitors will gain insight into how Oriental influences were integrated into Serbian court culture\, from architectural and decorative elements to luxury items that adorned the Arab Salon in the Old Palace in Belgrade. \nThe exhibition also sheds light on the broader context of the era—a cultural transfer that shaped tastes\, artistic movements\, and everyday life in Serbia at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. \nThis guided tour offers visitors the opportunity to explore the cultural and historical significance of this journey within the framework of European and Balkan developments of the time. We warmly invite you to attend this program and\, through expert interpretation\, discover new layers of a fascinating and often overlooked chapter of our history.

SUMMARY:Between the Throne and the Search for Personal Happiness: King Milan and Artemisa Hristić
DESCRIPTION:Lecture by historian Aleksandar Marušić\, senior curator at the Museum of the Rudnik-Takovo Region\, titled “Between the Throne and the Search for Personal Happiness: King Milan Obrenović and Artemiza Hristić”\, will be held at the Gallery of the National Museum Kraljevo\, on Tuesday\, September 30th\, 2025\, starting at 7 p.m.   \nThe private life of the “first Serbian king after Kosovo” was undeniably marked by his relationship with his wife\, Queen Natalija. However\, the focus of this lecture will be the emotional life of the Serbian sovereign\, woven with numerous affairs\, with particular emphasis on his love and relationship with Artemiza Hristić.  \nMany may wonder – who was she really? Born Joanidis\, the daughter of a Greek merchant and supplier to the royal court in Belgrade\, she entered Serbian high society through her marriage to Milan Hristić\, an official at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. For a time\, she served at court as a lady-in-waiting to Queen Natalija. Her beauty quickly caught the eye of King Milan\, and a passionate romance soon ignited between them. To spend more time with his beloved\, the Serbian king appointed her husband as his personal secretary. After separating from Queen Natalija in 1888\, Milan intended to marry Artemiza and urged her to obtain a divorce. However\, she was unable to do so easily and eventually left Belgrade. She lived in Constantinople\, where in 1889 she gave birth to a son believed by many to be King Milan’s child.           \nA special part of the lecture will be dedicated to the luxurious porcelain dining set gifted to Artemiza Hristić by her royal lover. \nToday\, this set is part of the permanent exhibition of the Museum of the Rudnik-Takovo Region in Gornji Milanovac.

SUMMARY:Author’s Guidance Through the Exhibition “Journey to the East of King Milan Obrenović”
DESCRIPTION:Author’s guidance by Snežana Cvetković\, PhD and Dejan Vukelić\, MA through the exhibition “Journey to the East of King Milan Obrenović: Pilgrimage and Culture of Orient at the Serbian Court” will be held in the Gallery of the National Museum Kraljevo\, on Tuesday\, October 2nd\, 2025\, starting at 7 p.m. \nThe exhibition is dedicated to one of the most fascinating yet lesser-known chapters in the life of the first Serbian king after Kosovo—his journey to the East following his abdication in 1889. Under the name “Count of Takovo”\, King Milan embarked on a voyage that took him from Constantinople to the Holy Land\, visiting Jerusalem\, Damascus\, and Beirut. He spent time in Orthodox sanctuaries\, explored Oriental palaces and bazaars\, engaged with local customs\, and left behind accounts of a world that\, to the European public of the time\, carried an almost exotic allure. \nThrough carefully selected objects\, archival materials\, photographs\, and contemporary accounts\, visitors will discover the impressions King Milan brought back from this unusual journey\, the treasures he introduced to Serbia\, and how his personal experience fits into the broader context of European interest in the East during the 19th century. This event\, both intimate and politically intriguing\, sheds light on a lesser-known side of the king’s personality and offers new insights into Serbian history of the era. \nThe authors of the exhibition\, Snežana Cvetković\, PhD and Dejan Vukelić\, MA will present her years-long research through a personal interpretation of the display\, revealing to the audience captivating details\, hidden layers of meaning\, and new understandings of King Milan’s character\, his motivations\, and the significance of his journey. \nThis author’s guidance represents the culmination of the exhibition program\, following a series of guided tours that have drawn great public interest. It will be a unique opportunity to experience the exhibition in a special way – through the voice of the author and researcher\, whose expertise and direct interpretation offer the most comprehensive insight into the exhibition’s meaning and content.

SUMMARY:Women’s Painting Manuscript of Kovačica Naïve Painting: From Needle and Thread to UNESCO
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition “Women’s Painting Manuscript of Kovačica Naïve Painting: From Needle and Thread to UNESCO” will open at the Gallery of the National Museum Kraljevo\, on Wednesday\, October 8th\, 2025\, at 6 p.m. The exhibition is organized by the “Babka” Gallery and Foundation from Kovačica. \nThe exhibition is inspired by the inscription of Kovačica naïve painting on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity\, achieved in December 2024. \nOn display are works (paintings and objects) by 31 female artists who have made a significant contribution to the development of this artistic phenomenon. The first part of the exhibition features works by some of the most prominent names\, including Zuzana Chalupová\, Katarína Kožíková\, Katarína Ďurišová\, Alžbeta Čižiková\, and many others. The second part will showcase works by Pavel Hajko\, one of the most acclaimed naïve painters today. \nEmerging from the towns and villages of southern Banat\, Kovačica’s naïve painting has become a hallmark of the Slovak community’s cultural identity in Serbia. Recognized both in art history and by the broader public\, its scope and quality have earned it a lasting place in cultural heritage. \nMotifs of rural life and everyday scenes\, symbols of tradition and the past\, and their distinct visual narratives form an authentic body of work with multi-layered cultural meanings – now more fully appreciated through the lens of intangible cultural heritage. \nThe exhibition will be formally opened by H.E. Michal Pavuk\, Ambassador of the Slovak Republic to the Republic of Serbia. \nIn addition to the opening\, a rich accompanying program will begin at 4 p.m. the same day. A children’s workshop on Kovačica naïve painting will be led by artist Vieroslava Svetliková\, during which the youngest participants will receive a copy of the “Primer of Kovačica Naïve Painting”. An adult workshop titled “Paint Your Own Magnet in the Spirit of Kovačica Naïve Painting” will be led by artist Klara Babka. The workshop is free of charge\, and all interested participants are welcome to join at 4 p.m. in the Gallery of the National Museum Kraljevo. \nThe exhibition will remain open until November 15th\, 2025.

SUMMARY:The Two Faces of War
DESCRIPTION:On the occasion of marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II and the 84th anniversary of the most terrible crime against humanity committed in Kraljevo in October 1941\, the National Museum of Kraljevo is organizing a screening of the documentary film “Two Faces of War”\, which will be held in the Movie Theater “Kvart”\, on Tuesday\, October 14th\, 2025. at 2 p.m..    \nThe documentary film “The Two Faces of War”\, by Zoran Dobrić\, a journalist\, documentary filmmaker and professor of journalism at the University of Vienna\, was produced by the Austrian national television ORF. The main theme of the film is the lesser-known role of Austrian citizens in World War II in the occupied Kingdom of Yugoslavia.  \nThe two opposing faces of war – good and evil – are depicted through the actions of two Austrians: nurse Diana Budisavljević\, who saved more than 7\,500 Serbian children from camps in the NDH\, and General Franz Böhme\, who\, as the occupation commander\, issued the order by which around 35\,000 civilians were shot in Serbia during the fall of 1941\, including several hundred children.  \nAlthough focused on the horrors of war\, the film “The Two Faces of War” carries a strong anti-war message and presents a universal story about good and evil in man. \nBefore the screening\, the film’s author Zoran Dobrić will address the audience.

SUMMARY:It Isn’t Simple as Bosa: History and Culture of the Bozadji’s Craft
DESCRIPTION:The lecture by Marina Lukić Cvetić “It Isn’t Simple as Bosa: History and Culture of the Bozadji’s Craft” will be held in the Gallery of the National Museum Kraljevo\, on Friday\, November 7th\, 2025. starting at 7 p.m.  \nThe Museum of Spoonsweats presents a new story about the widely known fermented sweet beverage originating from the Middle East\, which became rooted across the Balkans following Ottoman conquests. Although traditionally associated with Turkish communities\, boza has been consumed in Serbia since the early 19th century\, when craftsmen from the south – halva makers\, candy makers\, confectioners\, pastry chefs\, salep sellers\, and finally boza vendors – arrived in local bazaars. Today’s boza enthusiasts recognize it from “Pelivan” pastry shops\, where it is traditionally prepared by the Gorani people and served alongside sweets such as shampita\, baklava\, and kadaif. This drink dates back to prehistoric times\, and throughout history it has refreshed\, nourished\, and energized Janissaries.   \nThe question of whose boza we drink today has sparked debate between Turks and Persians.Across many Asian and European cultures\, boza has been prepared and served in various ways. In Bulgaria\, it has been declared a national beverage\, and its most famous literary depiction appears in Orhan Pamuk’s novel “A Strangeness in My Mind” where the protagonist is a twelve-year-old boza seller named Mevlut Karataş. His childhood and life are portrayed as a metaphor for Istanbul itself. In Serbia\, mischievous children once sang playful verses about boza while banging on tin drums\, and even today\, popular sayings use its characteristics to describe someone’s intelligence or wit.

SUMMARY:Crime and Punishment: The Fate of the Wehrmacht Officers Responsible for the Massacre in Kraljevo and Kragujevac in 1941
DESCRIPTION:The lecture by Nenad Karamijalković\, titled “Crime and Punishment: The Fate of Wehrmacht Officers Responsible for the Kraljevo and Kragujevac Massacres of 1941”\, will be held at the Gallery of the National Museum Kraljevo on Tuesday\, December 2nd\, 2025\, beginning at 6:00 p.m. The event marks 84 years since the last day General Franz Böhme spent in Serbia.   \nOn December 2nd\, 2025\, it will be exactly 84 years since General Franz Böhme\, Commander-in-Chief of the Wehrmacht in occupied Serbia\, left the country. He was the officer responsible for the infamous order “One Hundred for One”\, which during the autumn of 1941 cost the lives of around 30\,000 Serbian civilians. Among the most notorious crimes of that period were the mass executions in Kraljevo and Kragujevac. In addition to General Böhme\, Major Otto Desch – the direct commander of mass reprisals in Kraljevo and Kragujevac – was also among those most responsible. Other Wehrmacht officers likewise bore their share of responsibility for the tragedy of October 1941.       \nAnthropologist\, curator\, conservator\, and archivist Nenad Karamijalković will present the story of General Böhme\, largely familiar to historians\, as well as the fates of Major Desch and numerous other officers following the massacres in Kraljevo and Kragujevac – stories that remain mostly unknown or clouded by conflicting information
