Cultural institutions are a vital foundation of any society. In modern Serbia, the development of institutions dedicated to culture began in the early 19th century.

Belgrade serves as the hub for the nation’s premier cultural and artistic institutions, including the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, the National Library of Serbia, the National Museum, the National Theatre, and the University of Arts.
