Muzej rudničko-takovskog kraja

Museum of the Rudnik-Takovo region - basic information

Near the famous buildings of Gornji Milanovac, such as the Milanovac Theater, the building of the Old Court, the Church of the Holy Trinity, there is also a museum of the Rudnik-Takovo region. It contains testimonies about the glorious period of Serbian history, which was preceded by the Turkish occupation. Under the leadership of this museum, there are also the memorial complex Takovski grm, the Museum of the Second Serbian Uprising in Takovo, Milos's konak in Gornja Crnuca and the museum exhibition of the House of Serbian-Norwegian Friendship.

History of the museum
The house in which the museum is located is an example of interwar architecture in Gornji Milanovac, and it is also known as the Brkovic House. It used to belong to the wealthy merchant Ivan Brkovic, who built it in 1938. At that time, it was a symbol of wealth, and since 1994, it has opened its doors to visitors as a museum where you can see exhibits from historical, ethnological and other collections.

Historical collection
This collection includes items that are mostly related to the 19th century. These are weapons, documents, charters, maps, flags, among which are the Takovski Cross, the Order of Saint Sava, as well as the Order of the White Eagle. Most of the exhibits have been preserved from the area of Rudnik-Takovo, but there are also those that were donated or returned to the museum.

Permanent exhibition "Gifts and redemptions of the Obrenović dynasty"
The Obrenovic dynasty is associated with the entire area of Gornji Milanovac, Rudnik and Takovo. They were the founders of the churches that were being built, the Obrenovics raised the Second Serbian Uprising from that place, and the town of Gornji Milanovac itself is named after Milan Obrenovic. Therefore, it is not surprising that such an exhibition found its place in the museum of the Rudnik-Takovo region. In it you can find personal items that belonged to members of the dynasty, but also their portraits and official documents.

Legacy of the Nastasijević family
The Nastasijevic family was a respected family from Milan, which gave birth to numerous artists, but also philosophers, historians and mathematicians. After their move from Gornji Milanovac to Belgrade, they came into contact with the cultural elite of that time, such as Isdora Sekulic, Milos Crnjanski, Stanislav Vinaver. The personal items of that family were donated to the museum by the descendants.

Ethnological collection
This collection also includes objects that are the result of archaeological research. They consist of everyday objects that were used for life, as well as agricultural tools, utensils, objects for processing wool and textiles, and folk costumes.
