Serbian museums launch new historical and symbolic exhibitions

The National Museum Užice has launched a new permanent exhibition titled ‘Nasleđe – putovanje koje traje’ (Heritage – A Journey That Lasts) to mark its 80th anniversary. Spanning over 400 square meters, the exhibit covers the region's history from prehistory to the mid-20th century. Key archaeological highlights include Neolithic artifacts from Stapari, Iron Age finds from Pilatovići—such as an Egyptian scarab and amber beads—and Bronze Age weaponry from the Bajina Bašta area. The collection also features Roman-era artifacts and medieval items from the Old Town of Užice.

In a separate cultural event, the Historical Museum of Serbia has extended its exhibition ‘Boje koje povezuju vekove’ (Colors That Connect Centuries) through the end of November. The display explores the evolution of Serbian national symbols, including the flag and coat of arms. Utilizing interactive multimedia and applications, the exhibition allows visitors to learn about heraldry and design their own coats of arms, tracing the history of these symbols from antiquity to the modern era.
