About

Quick facts: The museum has over 20,000 exhibits showcasing the rich history of Niš and Serbia from prehistory to modern times. The oldest items are from the Neolithic period, and it is especially known for Roman and medieval artifacts.

Highlights: The museum's basement preserves authentic Roman mosaics with depictions of animals and gods, which are about 1,800 years old. The interior has creatively designed displays that guide visitors through the story of ancient Niš in a very visual way.

Insider tips

  • Wear comfortable shoes because the museum rooms have uneven old stone floors.
  • Do not miss the photographs of Roman mosaics in the basement as they are very photogenic.
  • Avoid weekends for a calmer experience and more detailed viewing.
  • Bring extra camera batteries if you like to photograph details.
  • Move quickly through the medieval period dioramas if you have little time.
