Srem Museum

About

The Museum of Srem (Serbian: Музеј Срема / Muzej Srema) in Sremska Mitrovica is the city institution focused on the research, preservation and presentation of historical objects and artifacts related to the Syrmia region. The museum was officially established in 1946 under the name of the City Museum of Sremska Mitrovica shortly after the end of World War II in Yugoslavia and the liberation from the Axis occupation of Vojvodina.

The founding of the museum was closely linked to archaeological findings from the Roman city of Sirmium. The museum initially opened as the Museum of Church Art on May 1, 1946, focusing on rich religious heritage of the city. By November 23, 1946, it became a comprehensive museum with archaeological, ethnographic, historical, art, and natural history collections. The museum's first exhibition opened to the public on May 31, 1948, while the current name of the institution was introduced in 1952.
