Military Museum
Војни музеј
A military museum inside Kalemegdan Fortress, with tanks and cannons lining the moat between the walls and exhibits spanning from the Roman era to 1999.
The Military Museum, founded in 1878, sits in the upper town of Kalemegdan Fortress and is one of the largest military museums in the Balkans. Its most appealing feature is the free outdoor display: tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, and naval guns from World War II and the Cold War line the moat between the walls, making it a good photo spot. Indoors, about 3,000 artifacts are arranged chronologically, from Roman and medieval armor and weapons, through Ottoman swords and firearms, to equipment from the two world wars and the wars that accompanied Yugoslavia's breakup. It also displays wreckage from a U.S. military aircraft shot down during the 1999 NATO bombing. Admission is several hundred dinars (check on site). Note: usually closed on Mondays.
