Zbirka ikona Sekulitsh
The Sekulić Icon Collection is a remarkable museum located in the heart of Belgrade, offering visitors a profound glimpse into Eastern Orthodox religious art. This extensive collection was carefully assembled over decades by Milan and Pava Sekulić, who later generously donated their life's work to the City of Belgrade. Housed in the authentic residential setting of their former apartment, the museum provides an intimate atmosphere that enhances the spiritual and artistic resonance of the exhibits.
Visitors can admire hundreds of beautifully preserved icons, representing diverse theological and artistic traditions, including Serbian, Russian, and Greek schools of iconography. The artifacts span several centuries, highlighting the evolution of religious painting from post-Byzantine times to more contemporary periods.
In addition to the icons, the museum also preserves a fine selection of 19th-century paintings, antique furniture, and rare books. Situated in Belgrade's historic center, it serves as a serene sanctuary of art and culture, making it an essential destination for those interested in religious history, fine arts, and the rich cultural heritage of the Balkans.
