Through exhibited documents, correspondence and personal items on the floor of a town house from the end of the 19th century, the birthplace of Stevan Stojanovic Mokranjac, one can trace the life and work of the most famous Serbian composer from the first days to the end of his life. The ethnological exhibition is an original legacy in musical instruments and other objects, photographs and documents belonging to the composer. Mokranjac’s workroom was reconstructed with the artist’s original furniture and personal effects. On the ground floor is the setting of Professor Stana Djuric Klein, dedicated to Mokranjac’s spiritual and worldly creativity with a musicological analysis of his compositions.
