Histoire
The origins of the Museum of Vojvodina date back to 1847 when the Serbian National Collection was founded to preserve national heritage.
Initially connected with Matica Srpska in Pest, it opened to the public in 1933 as the Matica Srpska Museum in Novi Sad.
In 1947, it became the Vojvodina Museum with a broader regional mandate.
The museum moved into its current historic building, a former courthouse designed by architect Gyula Wagner in 1896, in 1974.
In 1992, the Vojvodina Museum merged with the Historical Museum of Vojvodina to form the present-day Museum of Vojvodina.
Over time, it has played a central role in managing cultural institutions and preserving movable cultural heritage in the region.
