Tvrdjava Novi Sad

The City Museum of Novi Sad, founded in 1954, documents the development of the Serbian provincial capital of Vojvodina from its beginnings to the modern era. The main building is located on the upper plateau of the Petrovaradin Fortress in the former Topovnjača barracks, which was built in 1775 as a one-story military complex. The museum is divided into departments for archaeology, history, cultural history, and ethnology, as well as a regional gallery for contemporary art. Besides its main site, the institution includes several branches, among them the Zmaj Museum in Sremska Kamenica, a regional collection in Sremski Karlovci, and a collection of foreign art on Dunavska Street, which comes from the bequest of former mayor Branko Ilić.
