Renovations that dragged on for years and numerous corruption scandals repeatedly delayed the completion of the work. First, the roof was renovated and the museum's basement rooms, workshops, conservation and restoration studios were refurbished. The final phase of the renovation included a complete redesign of the interior.
The glazing of some of the side walls and the roof allows sufficient daylight to enter the exhibition space, which is divided into several levels without internal partition walls. Half-floors, intermediate levels with different ceiling heights and the panoramic view outside give the space a very airy, open atmosphere. The newly used modular Mila-wall wall system fits in perfectly with this. The purist aesthetics and the sustainable, flexible application possibilities for the presentation of paintings, sculptures, multimedia and much more create new spaces as needed.
After being stored in the National Bank's vault for 10 years, the museum's approximately 8,000 works of art are now accessible to the public again: in the first week after its opening, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade was even open seven days and seven nights in a row with free admission.
‘We are now leaving the last ten years behind us and looking forward to a better future.’ Slobodan Nakarada, Director
The opening exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade was realised using Mila-wall partition walls from the 840 series with a construction height of 2.5 metres.
