Building of Museum of Contemporary Art Belgrade
History of Museum of Contemporary Art Belgrade
Authors:
architects Ivan Antić and Ivanka Raspopović
The
Building of the Museum of Contemporary Art is situated in New Belgrade, on the
left bank of the Sava River, across the Belgrade Fortress. Its unique concept
of the interior design and, on the other hand, its link to the surroundings
represent an original solution which meets basic museological requirements. The
building is an interesting example of museum architecture worldwide. It is
surrounded by a sculpture park with works by the most significant Yugoslav
sculptors of the 20th century.
The
main volume of the building is a polymorphous crystal comprised of six cubes
with cut angles. The facade are mainly covered with white marble panels and
partly with glass, and the sloping roof surface is covered with glass. The
interior is characterized by its functionality and spaciousness. A unique and
specifically arranged interior space, without vertical partitions and
corridors, is divided into five exhibition levels interconnected by stairs.
These levels, which almost merge into one another, served as a means to connect
a number of spaces of different heights into a whole. This solution made it
possible for visitors to view the exhibits on the lower levels from multiple
angles from upper levels, as well as to reach the upmost levels with minimum
effort. The total area of the interior space is 5.055 square meters. The ground
floor is standing 1.80 meters above the ground, and the first level is 3.90
meters above the ground. The difference in height between second and third
level spans from 2.34 m to 1.56 m. The highest level is 10.14 m above the
ground.
The
Museum’s Building has been declared a cultural property of national interest in
1987. and is under the protection of Republic Institute for Protection of
Cultural Monuments.
