Collections of the National Museum
The National Museum of Arandjelovac is an institution of protection of a complex type with collections from the field of paleontology, archeology, ethnology, history and art history.
  • Paleontological collection - was formed on the basis of discovered fossil remains of Pleistocene fauna, found in the Risovac Cave, which is rightly called the paleontological treasury. In terms of the number of preserved remains, the cave bear far surpasses all other mammals, which inhabited the area at the end of the ice age.
  • Archaeological collection - is divided into prehistory, antiquity and the Middle Ages. Traces of the life of Neanderthal hunters and fruit gatherers have been discovered in the cave sediments of Risovača: typical Musterian triangular spikes, leaf-shaped spikes, as well as bone tools such as daggers and awls.
  • Ethnographic collection - the formation of this collection began in 1984. The first 28 items are donated to the National Museum by the elementary school Šumadijski partizani. Today, this collection contains over 1000 items. In this part of the exhibition, you can see the reconstruction of the hearth, the types of Šumadija construction, objects used by farmers and stockbreeders, as well as old crafts characteristic of this area: opančarski, ćurčijski and abadžijsko-terzijski.
  • Historical collection - this collection is divided into sub-collections with manuscripts, postcards and photographs.
  • Art History Collection - this place houses artistic ceramics created at the World of Ceramics event as part of the Marble and Sounds Art Festival. Also, here is the Gift Collection of Mihailo S. Petrov, which the Museum received in 2011.
