Museum of Yugoslavia
Dedinje campus holding the legacy of socialist Yugoslavia and the House of Flowers mausoleum.
The Museum of Yugoslavia occupies a landscaped hillside campus in the Dedinje district of Belgrade, bringing together three buildings that once formed separate institutions devoted to Josip Broz Tito. The oldest, the Museum 25 May, was designed by Mihailo Jankovic and opened in 1962 as a gift from the city. The complex took its present name and unified structure in 1996, and was reorganised again in 2017. Its holdings run to tens of thousands of objects gathered from across the former federation.
The collection covers relay batons from the Youth Day celebrations, state gifts received from foreign governments, archaeological material, fine art and an extensive photographic archive documenting daily life and diplomacy. The House of Flowers, a glass-roofed pavilion completed in 1975, contains the graves of Tito and Jovanka Broz and remains the most visited part of the site. Exhibitions address the history, memory and contested legacy of the Yugoslav state, and the grounds are open for walking between the pavilions.
