[1] All three buildings that make up the Museum of Yugoslavia were previously part of the "Josip Broz Tito" Memorial Centre.

[2] After his death on 4 May 1980, Josip Broz Tito was buried in the House of Flowers, set in the Memorial Centre grounds.

The centre had a collection of more than 75,000 items that illustrate the history of Yugoslavia throughout the 20th century, with the special accent on the life and work of Tito himself.

The exhibits further included works of many world-notable artists like Jan Griffier, Claude Joseph Vernet, Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, including original prints of Los Caprichos by Francisco Goya, Gerbrand van den Eeckhout Giving the Tenth, and many others.

[4] For almost a decade after the breakup of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the entire complex (the tomb and the museum) was closed to the public and the military guards were permanently removed.

Many people visit the place as a shrine to "better times", especially on 25 May (Josip Broz Tito's official birth date).
