Due to the executor's decision, the Car Museum has to move out of the Modern Garage tomorrow, the space it uses, which is why historic and rare cars will be placed in various garages around the city
The car museum must move out of the building at 30 Majke Jevrosime Street in Belgrade tomorrow because, as we have learned, the building has been returned to its owner through restitution.
The gentleman who introduced himself as "I'm just a guard", says that "the museum is only open until tonight", that it "does not exist anymore", that he is not authorized to give any information, and that he did not believe that "this will happen, for the executors to come".
In the press release of the Serbian Association for Historic Vehicles, it is written that the founder of the Museum "the city of Belgrade has not provided either a temporary or a permanent alternative space for the said museum, cars, other exhibits and numerous archival materials, which form a collection of inestimable national historical and technical value, until further notice be unavailable to the public".
They stated that the complete collection of the museum will be scattered all over Belgrade, in private garages and other accommodation spaces, in what they considered to be an "absolutely unacceptable way, which will pose a serious threat to its preservation".
The building used by the Automobile Museum was built in 1929 as the first public garage, the Central Garage, in the city, according to the plans of the Russian architect Valery Stashevsky. Since 1994, it has been declared a cultural monument under the name Modern Garage.
The website says that the Car Museum is the collection of Bratislava Petković, the former Minister of Culture, that half of the approximately 100 old and rare cars in the collection are on display, and that they are of particular importance for learning about the development and technical progress of motoring in our country and in the world. .
The oldest car is a Marot-Gardon, France, from 1897, a three-wheeled vehicle, wooden body (ash), with a seat for two people.
The Collection also includes a French Charrron car from 1908, with wooden spokes on wheels and a luxurious Landolet-type wooden body, which was made by hand to order. Then the Ford Model T from 1925, the first car produced in a large series, on the assembly line.
The collection includes original and restored cars, among which stand out: Ford from 1902, Lancia Lamda from 1925, Citroën B10 from 1926, Buick 28-58 Opera coupe from 1928, Skoda R6 from 1929, Aero 10 from 1929, Alvis from 1930, BMW 327 /328 from 1938, Rover 14…
The museum has accompanying equipment: wheels, horns, lanterns, radios, tools, driver's licenses, posters, commercial advertisements, license plates, the first traffic regulations and laws. The museum also has a collection of photographs, documents of old tools and equipment, as well as a library and video library with thousands of titles.
For visitors in February, they recommend the French Marot-Gardon from 1897.
