The renowned world magazine "Travel + Leisure" recommended it Museum of Yugoslavia in Belgrade as an unmissable destination.
"Travel + Leisure" is one of the world's most influential magazines in the field of travel and culture, whose recommendations have a significant impact on the global visibility of cultural institutions and tourist flows.
Apart from the Museum of Yugoslavia, the world's most famous museums, 27 of them around the world, also received this flattering recommendation. In addition to it, the list also includes the iconic Louvre and Orsay in Paris, the National Gallery in London, the National Gallery of Art in Washington and the Vatican Museums, as well as the Chinese National Museum in Beijing.
The Museum of Yugoslavia is specially singled out in the segment of institutions dealing with history and cultural heritage.
"When the former state disintegrated in 1991, it represented a profound change that affected the way we perceive the Balkan region today. If you are planning a trip to the Serbian (and former Yugoslav) capital, Belgrade, it is worth a visit to see the artifacts, uniforms and items that diplomats gave to President Josip Broz Tito," the text states.
The Museum of Yugoslavia is among the three traditionally most visited museums in Serbia, along with the National Museum and the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade. As they say in this museum, they had 203.000 visitors in 2024, and 186.000 last year, and they justifiably expect that this "Travel+Leisure" recommendation will affect this year's attendance.
"Hedgehog's House"
In October of last year, the exhibition "Hedgehog's House - Inventing a Better World" of the Museum of Yugoslavia was declared one of the best in Europe in the field of cultural heritage and won the Europa Nostra Grand Prix 2025 in the category Civic Initiatives and Awareness Raising - the highest award given by the European Commission and Europa Nostra.
Among 30 laureates from 24 European countries, the "Hedgehog House" project was recognized as an exceptional example of a modern approach to cultural heritage - through cooperation with children and students, encouraging dialogue between generations and reflecting on home, community and memory.
