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: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.
