The end of the First World War and proclamation of the new Yugoslav capital on December the 31st 1918, announced new, very dynamic period for Belgrade, the period of reconstructions and demographic, economic and cultural development. In the 1920s Belgrade experienced great population growth and became the most dynamic urban center of the new state.
The exhibition Belgrade in the 1920s was created with a goal to demonstrate life in Belgrade one century ago when the foundations for a metropolitan city were laid. With the aim to present one complete image of Belgrade in a decade very important for its development, the exhibition included rich archival material preserved in the Historical Archives of Belgrade: letters, contracts, various documents, architectural designs, photographs, drawings, maps, proclamations. Selected material is preserved within thirty fonds and collections providing an insight in numerous happenings in capital’s everyday life: political events, organization of local elections, urban planning, cultural and artistic manifestations, industrial development, economy, health care, traffic, education, sports and tourism, social actions. Presented archival material hasn’t been used so far, and in some cases it has been complemented by newspapers articles.
Selected material is presented in 34 exhibition panels and in exhibition catalogue.
The exhibition can be seen in the main hall of the Yugoslav Film Archives (1 Uzun Mirkova Street), from the 16th until 22nd of April 2024, in the period from 10AM until 8PM.
