The 10 Best Art Galleries in Belgrade, Serbia
All roads lead to Belgrade when it comes to art in Serbia, and rightly so. The capital is a real creative hub and an international centre, so it’s no surprise that the country’s finest art galleries are in the town. Belgrade is an art lover’s dream, and these spots are must-see to say the least.
1. Ulična Galerija
Art Gallery
A dirty lane jutting off from one of Belgrade’s main squares might not seem like the obvious spot for a gallery, but then the Serbian capital isn’t a particularly obvious city. The self-explanatory Ulična Galerija (Street Gallery) is just off Nikola Pašić Square and showcases some of the finest independent and activist art in the city. Photos, posters, collages, graffiti and the rest — there is something for everyone at the Street Gallery.
2. Galerija ŠTAB
Art Gallery
Savamala has taken a bit of a beating in recent years, but Galerija ŠTAB is one of the few creative hubs that has managed to withstand the Belgrade Waterfront nonsense and even managed to thrive. One of the coolest galleries in the city, it frequently changes up its exhibitions in order to showcase the best up and coming talent in the city along with work from further afield.
3. Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts

5. O3ONE Art Space

6. Eugster
Art Gallery
Don’t be put off by the bleakness of a blue and white storage space, as this somewhat new riverside gallery showcases some of the best contemporary art from Belgrade and beyond. It isn’t the easiest to find, but persevere and an entire world of expression will open out in front of you. The immensity of the space is also refreshing. It isn’t always open, however, so do check with the relevant social media pages to see the schedule. Failing that, contact the gallery to organise a visit.
7. Salon of the Museum of Contemporary Art

8. SKC Gallery

9. Gallery of Frescoes
Museum, Art Gallery
A part of the National Museum, the Gallery of Frescoes represents a very different part of the Serbian artistic tradition. The monasteries of the country are among some of its most sacred spots, and it’s the frescoes lighting up those structures that garner the most attention. This building in Dorćol is full of replicas but the quality is clear for all to see. To tap into the spiritual artistic nature of the Serbs, make this your first stop.
10. Portofino 1989
Art Gallery
There are plenty of galleries in Belgrade that occupy a whole heap of space, but Portofino 1989 proves that size isn’t everything. Located in Palilula, itself one of the most underrated neighbourhoods in the city, Portofino 1989 is a treasure trove of new and old that intrigues as much as it impresses. Opened by a mother-daughter designer combo, it has been a refreshing addition to the Serbian capital’s art scene.
