the Serbian capital Belgrade is wanted to apply as European Capital of Culture 2020 years ago.. But after a moment’s thought the plan was dropped quickly. Because the most important museums for many years not open to visitors.
If and when that changes, is in the stars. Because in the past there were always new dates for renovations and reboots. They passed without positive results
The internationally once renowned Museum of Modern Art -. Picturesquely situated on the Sava River – makes a sad impression. The futuristic building is cordoned off with red fences since of 2007. The entrance is in a pitiful state of the facade project grasses and broken lines in the air. The windows are blind, everywhere traces of rust showing on the roof. A Happy has in red letters “Here I kissed her for the first time” painted on the front steps.
Years ago, this museum plight should be stopped courageously. The government made money available, the gates of the new house should be opened early 2015 again. Optimistic included a digital clock, the days down until the opening. Today the counter is at a standstill, without that something would have done. The reasons are difficult to understand from the outside, because every each accused. Anyway, are corruption, mismanagement, personnel disputes and apparent disinterest of politicians at the top of the list.
Now the government wants but lockermachen 820 million dinars (6.6 million euros) to the closed since 2003. National Museum rehabilitate. The more than 400 000 exhibits will be accessible again. World-famous archaeological pieces and an internationally renowned collection of modern paintings with images of Picasso, Matisse, Monet, Cezanne and Degas are among. While standing at the entrance now a construction crane, but whether it works this time and whether in particular the money is enough for a renovation from the ground up, remains open.
In recent years, the media continued complaint the wretched cultural scene , “City without museums” and “Art in Serbia under wraps,” headlined the state television. This is a unique selling point internationally, many artists showed stunned. But the top two museums are not alone. The Belgrade City Museum does not even have its own building and is under hatched in many remedy centers. The local museum in the major Belgrade suburb Zemun: Closed. The art museum: In many houses split makeshift. The Historical Museum of Serbia does not have an exhibition to date.
One of the few museums open made last month for a tangible art scandal. In the Ethnographic Museum, the wedding party of the directors-son could take their photos in the historical exhibits. The union of the house took the occasion to the same in order to accuse the leadership of the House of serious corruption. State funds are characterized flowed into private pockets. “The culture is the mirror of every society,” the TV channel quoted N1 Culture Minister Ivan Tasovac.
