Museum of Contemporary Art Belgrade

Renovations that dragged on for years and numerous corruption scandals repeatedly delayed the completion of the work. First, the roof was refurbished, and the storage depot, workshops and conservation and restoration studios in the museum’s basement were renovated. The final phase of the conversion included, among other things, a complete redesign of the interior.

Thanks to the glazing of some of the side walls and the roof, enough daylight enters the exhibition space, which is divided into several levels without internal partition walls. Mezzanines, intermediate levels with different ceiling heights and the panoramic view outside give the space a very airy, open atmosphere. The newly used Mila-wall modular wall system is a perfect match for this. Its purist aesthetic and sustainable, flexible uses for presenting paintings, sculptures, multimedia and much more create new spaces again and again as required.

After the museum’s approximately 8,000 works of art had been kept in the vault of the National Bank for 10 years, they are now accessible to the public again: in the first week after the reopening, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade was even open for seven days and seven nights in a row with free admission.

“We are now leaving the ten years behind us and looking forward to a better future.” Slobodan Nakarada, Director
