Museum of Contemporary Art

Museum of Contemporary Art (Serbian: Muzej savremene umetnosti) is an art museum in Belgrade that collects and displays art produced since 1900 in Serbia and former Yugoslavia. The museum also organizes international exhibitions of modern and contemporary art.

It was founded in 1958 as the Modern Gallery. It was moved into the current building in the Ušće neighborhood of New Belgrade in 1965. The building is a masterpiece of Ivan Antić and Ivanka Raspopović, a short-lived by highly successful partnership, which also produced the 21st of October Museum in the Šumarice Memorial Park in Kragujevac. The collection contains more than 35,000 works of art.

The museum was closed for renovation between 2007 and 2017. After several deadlines were pushed back, the museum was finally reopened for visitors on 20th of October 2017.

Due to its shape, architecture and location, it has been nicknamed “crystal at the confluence”.
