History of the Museum
Ethnographic Museum was established in February 1901, but its roots reach deeper into the past. Gathering of ethnographic items started as early as in the middle of 19th century, and in 1844 some ethnographic items could be found in the National Museum of Serbia (Serbskonarodni muzej).
A significant systematic collecting was carried out because of taking part in the All-Slavic Exhibition, held in Moscow in 1867. Although all collected items stayed in Moscow, the exhibition was important since in Serbia, and in the whole Balkans, it initiated systematic collecting of ethnographic items and ethnologic research of the region.
In 1872, Serbian Learned Society (Srpsko učeno društvo) made a concrete suggestion for founding of a museum that would cherish ethnographic items. In the same year Stojan Novaković submitted Suggestion and Draft for establishing Serbian Museum of History and Ethnography and the efforts for establishing a separate ethnographic museum started. The idea of forming such a museum was realized in February of 1901. Te ethnographic collection from the National Museum was moved into a separate building, gift by Stevča Mihailović (a trader from the town of Jagodina), and this year is considered to be the year of founding.
In its first days after founding, Ethnographic Museum owned 909 ethnographic items, 32 books, few photographs and a very valuable album of water colours and drawing of folk costume by Nikola Arsenijević. The first manager was appointed to be Sima Trojanović. He immediately began a large-scale collecting and in 1904 Museum fund had some 8.500 items. The gathered items were from the whole territory of Balkans and they belonged not only to Serbian traditional culture but also to other ethnic groups of the region. Ethnologic research and field collection of items started in 1902.
