belgrad military museum

Magellano81

The Belgrade Military Museum located within the walls of the fortress, a sort of open-air museum, easily visited just walking along the walls, showing there are guns, tanks and many other weapons of war into disuse. Pleasant visit of about 10-15 minutes.

For military history fans, this is definitely a must. The museum can be divided into 2 parts:- the outside which has a very vast collection of hardware ranging from medieval cannons to WW2 tanks to a Humvee captured during the war in 1999- the inside which provides information about the military history of Yugoslavia, as well as huge quantities of personal weapons dating from all agesIts only drawback is the lack of more detailed English explanations, but I found it very worthwhile nonetheless.

The Belgrade Military Museum is one of the most interesting institutions of this kind in the region, not that big as the ones in Vienna or Bucharest, but above the one in Budapest.It is placed in a good and symbolic location: the Belgrade Fortress. The outside exhibits (tanks, cannons and other large military objects) are free to visit as you walk true the fortress.But also it worths to enter inside (less than 2 Euro). The thematic exhibitions are well organized and presented in distinct collections. You have small descriptions in English, but unfortunately not in all the cases. An interesting thing is that alongside exhibits from distant epochs you will see weapons, torture devices and uniforms from more recent times, like the ones from the Yugoslav Wars in the 1990s. There are also exposed captured US military objects, like fragments from the invisible F-117 american plane shootdown in 1999 by serbian anti-air defense system. The great thing is that is no extra fee to take pictures!

For a fee of less than 10 Euros (if my memory is not failing), the visit was good value for money. I saw a very good collection of medieval militray items which I had not seen elsewhere and various items about WWI, WWII and beyond. Part of the collection of guns are frowere produced in and also used by Germany in WWI and WWII. Photography there was neither restricted nor prohibited. The tanks dated the first half of the last century outside the museum andwere also free attarctions for adults and kids alike, especially adults who have a liking for WWII German and Soviet tanks. I could actually climb onto any of them and take photos and have close-up inspection of these old war machines of which most still had a decent outlook thoguh the interior parts were all gone and in some cases filled with unremoved garabage. You could hardly have the chance to climb onto so many antique tanks safely and unrestricted anywhere for free elsewhere.

When you see cannons outside, you don't expect history. But the medieval sections was very precise and unfortunately I forgot to purchase a book from the desk.

Military Museum is a museum institution that collects, studies and presents a variety of items for military use and above all, weapons, uniforms, military flags, military documents and works of art with a military theme. Military Museum is located on the first bastion of the southeastern front of the Belgrade fortress in a building erected in 1924 for the purposes of the Military Geographical Institute, which in 1956 ceded to the Museum. Surrounded by city walls and biggest park in Belgrade Kalemegdan is one of the symbols of Belgrade tvrđave.Vojni Museum was established by Decree of Prince Milan Obrenovic on 10 August 1878.

Amazing building, old fortress surroundings, great location for such institution. It's not equipped with hi tech installations, it just has raw history, great number of things to see and admire.

First of all, the fee is ridicilously cheap (1.5 EUR) for what you get in return. At the beginning, there are plenty of things to see outside of the museum, once you enter I've got the feeling that it's not just the military museum but there is plenty to be learned about the history of the region as well. It took me quite a while to examine the most of the display and it was well worth it. Loved it. Good job.

At the entrance of Kalemegdan, this huge museum stands and you should pay a visit. It started with very early ages and comes to 1999 at the end. As going through phases in Serbian history, we really had very nice time.There is only two problem, only like % 20 of the texts are in English so you generally have to understand by finding certain words or numbers. Secondly there is ZERO security. There is only one old guard sitting at the entrance an the museum is huge. You can hug bombs, touch the armors and hold weapons as some of them are not behind the glass.

I spent three days in Belgrade trying to sample its museums and was frustrated by most of them being closed for refurbishment until at least September and beyond. The Belgrade Fortress' military museum came to the rescue with an large outdoor display of artillery and tanks and an indoor display of infantry weapons and uniforms along with weaponry and armour that are centuries old.The indoor displays are a bit staid and traditional with most of the labelling being in Serbian. The outdoor displays of tanks and artillery pieces are poorly maintained and show signs of deterioration. There is a lack of obvious investment in maintaining and improving the exhibits but at least this was the only museum other the the Tesla Museum that was open to visitors despite all of the tourist literature indicating that all the major museums were open.I recommend a visit despite its shortcomings as it helps to fill in the time in an uninspiring city which has focussed on its pedestrianised shopping centre and restaurants/bars.

I didn't realise Serbian history went back so far. The museum went through many periods from the 7th Century to the present. There were very large displays on the conflicts of the 20th Century, especially WWII (with the notable exception of the terrible wars upon the breakup of Yugoslavia). There was some English but only 25% of what was written in Serbian. But still, it was worth a visit.

This museum is really nice! with lots of artefacts and pictures but 90% only in Serbian. It's hard to understand the history like this. They don't have audio guides (they really should get it!) and the lights are too low...

There was a lot to see here, starting from pre-Roman times up to modern day military paraphernalia. There wasn't very much English but my boyfriend and I's combined languages(Polish, Russian, English) helped decipher the main points. I was not disappointed:)

A lot of history here. Many many pieces of artillery and war machines. I am not so much into all that but the location of this place and the beauty of the old buildings I cant resist. I have been in winter and in spring. In the spring the area if full of visitors and lovers strolling about.

Pretty cool to see while I was walking through the fortress. They have a lot of tanks and guns on display outside that you don't have to pay anything to see. Worth seeing those while you are in the fortress even if you don't make it inside.
