House of flowers - the most important information

The House of Flowers is the place where Marshal Josip Broz Tito and his wife Jovanka Broz were buried. The House of Flowers operates within the Museum of the History of Yugoslavia.

History of the House of Flowers

The house was built in 1975 according to the plan of Stjepan Kralj and as a winter garden for the then president of Yugoslavia, Tito. At that time, it was called "Cvecara" and Tito spent a lot of time in it because it was located in the immediate vicinity of his residence at Uzicka 15, especially after the divorce with his wife Jovanka in 1977. After Tito's death, on May 4, 1980, and based on his wish, he was buried on May 8 in the winter garden, which was converted into his last resting place. It was named "House of Flowers" because they did not want to call that place a grave or mausoleum, and it is surrounded by large flower bushes.

In 1982, the House of Flowers became part of the "Josip Broz Tito" Memorial Center, which in 1996 was reorganized into the Museum of the History of Yugoslavia. In the permanent exhibition of the House of Flowers, there are memorial rooms and an exhibition part where you can see local, republic and federal baton sticks, as well as written messages that Tito received with them, photos of baton bearers, marshal's uniforms, etc.
