Museum of African Art, Belgrade

The Museum of African Art (Serbian: Музеј афричке уметности, Muzej afričke umetnosti) located in the Senjak neighbourhood of Belgrade, Serbia, is the oldest institution in Southeast Europe dedicated exclusively to African art.

[2] Founded in 1977, during a period of strong Yugoslav engagement with the Non-Aligned Movement, the museum was established by Veda Zagorac and Zdravko Pečar, a former Yugoslav ambassador to Ghana and Mali, who donated the collection they gathered during their time in Africa.

[2] The museum’s permanent exhibition highlights artifacts from West Africa, particularly from Ghana, Mali, Côte d'Ivoire, and Burkina Faso.

[2] The museum presents itself as a distinctly anti-colonial institution, distinguishing itself from many other European collections of African art.

It was established from the private collection of Croatian diplomat in service of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia Zdravko Pečar (born in Međimurje), and was a result of his long stay as Ambassador to Africa.
