Vuk & Dositej Museum

The Museum of Vuk and Dositej is one of the most important memorial museums in Belgrade. Founded in 1949, it depicts the life, work and legacy of Vuk Stefanovic Karadzic (1787–1864), the reformer of the Serbian language, and Dositej Obradovic (1742–1811), a writer who was the country’s first Minister of Education. The museum is a crucial site for understanding the revival of Serbian culture at the time of the First Serbian Uprising against the Ottoman Empire. Since 1979, this institution has been governed by the National Museum of Serbia.
