The Gallery Square in Novi Sad is the meeting place of art, history and the modern spirit of a city that inherits a rich cultural heritage, and an unavoidable tourist destination for numerous visitors to the European Capital of Culture. We bring you the story of the origin and development of the city square, synonymous with gallery art.<\/strong><\/p>

Today’s Gallery Square<\/em> in the centre of Novi Sad was created after the end of World War I, during the period of prosperity and development of the city, and it was first envisaged as a business district. In the past, before the construction of Mihajla Pupina Boulevard, four well-known Novi Sad streets \u2013 Vase Staji\u0107a Street, Ilije Ognjanovi\u0107a Street, Mike Anti\u0107a Street, as well as a small street that was actually an extension of Mike Anti\u0107a Street, led to the square, which until 1992 was called Proleterskih Brigada Square, and ended with the former\u00a0Armenian Church. As the construction works of the aforementioned Boulevard progressed, the former beautifully decorated park was transformed into a square of its current appearance, with three imposing cultural institutions and a large parking lot.<\/p>

Did you know that the building of today’s Gallery of Matica Srpska<\/em><\/strong>, in the Gallery Square<\/em>, was purpose-built for the Novi Sad commodity exchange called Produktna Berza in 1926? The construction project was done by the famous Novi Sad architect Lazar Dun\u0111erski<\/strong>. The building was transformed three decades later into the Gallery of Matica Srpska <\/em>in 1958.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

From that moment, the transformation of the Square from a business-purpose to a gallery began, and soon the Pavle Beljanski Memorial Collection<\/em><\/strong> was opened in 1961, and the Rajko Mamuzi\u0107 Gift Collection<\/em><\/strong> was opened in 1974.<\/p>

The Gallery of Matica Srpska<\/em> <\/strong>continued the tradition of the Museum founded as part of the\u00a0Matica Srpska in 1847 and became one of the richest and\u00a0the oldest institutions in the country<\/a>, which celebrated the 175<\/strong>years of its foundation during the European Capital of Culture<\/a> title year. As a guardian of the wealth of cultural heritage, GMS is an unmissable destination for tourists due to its imposing permanent exhibition, as well as current exhibitions. We invite you to plan a visit, as\u00a0A Quite (Un)Usual Serbian-French Connection Olga Ke\u0161eljevi\u0107 and Marc Barbezat<\/em><\/strong> exhibition awaits you until 7 May<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
