The Museum
of Yugoslav History is a national history museum in Serbia. It is the one place
you experience Yugoslav like if you were there yourself. With over 200,000
items the museum presents an incisive picture of the nation that existed from
world war II till the 1990s It consist of three separate venues:
- The May 25 Museum
- House of Flowers
- Old Museum.
The May 25 Museum is an exhibition area, where one could witness temporary exhibitions. It covers various aspects of life in
Yugoslavia, from everyday life to music, culture, marketing.
House of Flowers is the mausoleum of Josip Broz Tito
who died on 4 May 1980, and his wife Jovanka Broz. Tito was the president of
the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) from 1953 to 1980, as well
as the supreme commander of the Army of Yugoslavia, president of the Yugoslav
Communist Party, leader of the war of national liberation during World War II
and one of the founders of the Non-Aligned Movement.
During my
visit to the Old Museum I saw a collection of Tito's army uniforms, as well as an
extensive collection of the gifts Tito received during his many visits with
foreign dignitaries during his presidency.
