This years Museum exhibits edition bring us four paintings from the House of Jevrem Grujić. The house was built in 1896 by a renowned Serbian statesman and diplomat, leader of modern Serbia – Jevrem Grujić, for his family.
During the 19th and the 20th centuries, metropolitan balls were
organized in the vast salons of the building, which entertained the
social elite of Serbia, as well as diplomatic events during which the
political and intellectual pioneers of the time made decisions regarding
the future of the young Serbian state. A secret agreement between Serbia
and Bulgaria about the freeing of South Slavs was signed here in 1912,
based on which the Balkan League was later formed.
Half a century later, in 1967, the first nightclub in Belgrade was opened in the building’s basement, marking the beginning of a sociological boom in the contemporary history of the city. The House of Jevrem Grujić is a cultural monument of high importance and the only member of the European Historic Houses Association.
Today’s living hiers of Jevrem Grujić strain, are the ones that came up with an idea to establish The Museum of Jevrem Grujić, so colorful Serbian history and rich family tradition were out of oblivion and presented to the public.
