Sword Through the Centuries at the Ethnographic Museum

The museum is pleased to announce the guest exhibition "Sword" by the author Aleksandar Stanković, a teacher, historian, and theoretician of classical, sports, and stage fencing, which will be open to all lovers and enthusiasts of this most elegant martial art on Tuesday, June 18th at 8:00 pm.

The exhibition includes a rich collection of over 50 swords through the centuries, from antiquity through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance to the modern era, and the exhibited items, mostly replicas, are enriched with authentic pieces of yataghans and sabers from the Museum's Weapons and Warrior Equipment collection representing the culture of swords of Serbia and the Balkans.

During the exhibition, expert guided tours, workshops, and interactive lectures on the theory of the sword and the history of fencing in Serbia and Belgrade from the Middle Ages to the mid-20th century will be organized. We especially announce a little prize competition Stone Sword for our youngest visitors.
