Comment
Šapić's Revenge Museum instead of the Museum of Yugoslavia
Aleksandar Šapić's plan to banish Tito's corpse from Belgrade and close down the House of Flowers gives rise to reasonable suspicion that he has plans for the Museum of Yugoslavia, perhaps to establish a Museum of Serbian History in its place according to his own historical criteria.

Planning
Would the "Nikola Tesla" Museum move to "Jugošped" if it were not for Belgrade on the water?
The "Jugošped" building is located near Belgrade on the water, so it seems that the decision to move the "Nikola Tesla" Museum to "Jugošped" was not made because it is a suitable space for this museum, but because Belgrade on the water needs culture

Interview - Nele Karajlić, musician and writer
I'm a museum piece
"When you do not have any other national identity, when you are not grounded in any form of culture, when you do not yet have your own self but you already have a country and a flag, it is logical that you try to compensate for that lack by changing history. You even appropriate someone else's language and call it your own "
The largest museum event in the country
In the foreground - museums
The most general conclusion and impression about the event "Museums of Serbia, ten days from 10 to 10" of those who organize and realize it - it is good that it exists, regardless of the fact that sometimes it does not attract as many audiences as expected
Interview - Slobodan Nakarada
A museum must inspire
"To begin with, for us one of the fundamental problems we will have to face after the opening of the museum is how to bring the audience back. These ten years were not only disastrous for us because we did not exhibit, but also because the Serbian public could not for a long time see the best works we have in depots. We have lost generations who really don't know what a museum is anymore. I read a study where high school students were asked questions, for example, what is / who is Lubarda, and they answered 'patisseries', then that 'Pijana lađa' is a tavern..."
Response to Svebor Midžić's reaction "What is Yugoslavia to whom" ("Vreme" no. 1144)
Kursadjie from the Museum of Contemporary Art
In response to my text, Midžić equates Young Bosnia and the assassination in Sarajevo with the VMRO-Ustasha conspiracy and the assassination in Marseille. These are the same things, says Midžić, only that Crnjanski and Bazdulj would not glorify Vlada Černozemski. (That for glorification is correct.) Everything else follows from this equalization: Midžić's agreement with the maxim that every (actually existing) Yugoslavia is actually Serbia, that is, the equalization of Yugoslavia symbolized by, for example, Miloš Crnjanski (or Andrić or even Njegoš) with Greater Serbia and with with a Chetnik dagger. Introduction kame is the most physical moment in Midžić's reaction; he who does not see the continuity between the two Yugoslavias, would like to somehow connect Crnjanski with Srebrenica

Belgrade museum offer
A shortage of museums
On the website of the Belgrade City Assembly, 37 art, cultural-historical, memorial, technical and natural-historical museums are listed. If we define a museum as a cultural institution that preserves, studies, collects and exhibits the values of its people, the question is whether it can be said for all museums in Belgrade that, in addition to existing, they also work
Užička 11
Milošević in the museum

Interview: Aleksandar Rakezić Zograf and Stevan Vuković
Adventures of a Dreamcatcher
Zograf's themes, says Vuković, are phenomena, people and objects suppressed from the mainstream of history and culture, with which his autographed avatar introduces us. Thus, on the pages of his comics, one finds the characters of anonymous witnesses of wars, aboriginal artists, local personalities, poison grandmothers who believe that their dreams have determined their fate, characters who, in fact, are a very good match for the superheroes of the industrialized comic business.
