Museum of Contemporary Art
Музеј савремене уметности
A modernist building in Ušće Park, at the river confluence in New Belgrade, housing 20th-century art from Yugoslavia, with windows facing the fortress and the meeting of two rivers.
The Museum of Contemporary Art opened in 1965 in Ušće Park on the left bank of the Sava. Designed by Ivan Antić and others, it is a landmark of Yugoslav modernist architecture: a cluster of interlocking cubes that resembles a crystal. Its collection covers paintings, sculptures, installations and video works from Serbia and the former Yugoslav region, from the 20th century to the present, offering insight into Yugoslav avant-garde art. After a ten-year renovation it reopened in 2017. The large floor-to-ceiling windows frame views of Kalemegdan Fortress and the point where the Sava flows into the Danube. Admission is a few hundred dinars (check the official website). Getting there: about a 25-minute walk from the old town across Brankov Bridge. Note: It is usually closed on Tuesdays; check the official website for opening days.
