History[edit]

The Museum of Natural History was founded on 19 December 1895 as the Jestastvenički muzej and opened in 1904. The museum was founded under the decision of Ljubomira Kovačević, the Minister of Education and Church Divisions at the time, with the help of an initiative of the Serbian Association of Professors.

The museum went under several name changes, its first name change occurring in 1903, where it was renamed Museum of the Serbian Land and then in 1945, where it was renamed Museum of Natural History of the Serbian Land. In 1958, its name was changed to its current name, Museum of Natural History (in Belgrade).
