After 39 years of waiting, the Memorial Museum of Nadežda and Rastko Petrović was opened on the day of Rastko's birth, for selected media
It was opened yesterday, May 15, after 39 years Memorial Museum of Nadezhda and Rastka Petrović, which is part of National Museum of Serbia. The opening was timed on the birthday of Rastko Petrović, "whereby the National Museum of Serbia and the Ministry of Culture join the practice of historical accuracy and consistency in the presentation of figures of national importance," said Minister Nikola Selaković when opening the Museum.
The ceremony was closed, at least for most of the media. It is speculated that the General Staff is to blame for everything, that is, questions related to it that journalists could possibly ask the minister.
Minister Selaković reminded that "in this house, at the address Ljubomir Stojanovića 25, in the heart of Belgrade's Professor's Colony, lived Ljubica Luković, the keeper of the family heritage of the Petrović family, who bequeathed her house to the National Museum with the wish that it become a home for the memory of Nadežda and Rastka. Although the museum was opened in 1977, the conditions did not allow for long-term preservation of the collection. From 1986 until today, this house was closed but never forgotten".
The thematic concept of the permanent exhibition connects the look and spirit of the family home and the museum space.
According to Bojana Borić Brešković, director of the National Museum of Serbia, the permanent exhibition of the Memorial Museum "was created in honor of the youngest Petrović, Rastok - a writer, passionate collector, diplomat and travel writer, a Renaissance man of the modern age, and his sister Nadežda, the leader of our modern art, the first woman" of Serbian photography, a humanist, an active participant in cultural and social life during the first, stormy decades of the 20th century.
Borić-Brešković explained that "this important house of memory brings to life the exceptional works of art of Nadežda Petrović and unpublished manuscript materials, collectible and useful objects, drawings and rare letters of Rastko Petrović, which testify to his deep connection with European cultural centers, but also geographical points from Africa to North America."
During yesterday's opening, it was emphasized that the day of Rastko's birthday according to the Gregorian calendar was chosen.

Vučić is not defending the state, but himself from the state.
