Matica Srpska, the oldest Serbian literary, cultural and scientific institution, was founded in Budapest in the first half of the 19th century, and was moved to Novi Sad in the second half of the century. The nineteenth century was a period of national awakening, thus Matica Srpska, modeled on some foreign maticas, was founded in order to preserve Serbian culture and tradition, maintain its presentation in Europe, but also foster and develop Serbian culture and publish books in Serbian language. The publishing was especially significant when Matica Srpska first began to work, which can be seen by \u2018Letopis\u2019, a journal by Matica Srpska that has been coming out ever since 1824. It is the world\u2019s oldest literary journal that is being published even today. The building of Matica Srpska was built with the money of Marija Trandafil<\/strong>, and is located in the city centre, in 1 Matica Srpska Street. Today, this building is the headquarters of the Matica, Library, and several Matica\u2019s departments. You can find more information about the activities, history, departments and newest publications on the website of Matica Srpska<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The benefactor Sava Teklija<\/strong> left his entire property to Matica Srpska, including a valuable portrait collection. From then on, the gifts continued to come in and the collection continued to grow. This is how the Gallery of Matica Srpska came to be. It started working in 1933, when its collections – art, archaeological, numismatic and ethnographic, were presented to the public. All the collections, except the art collection, were given to the Museum of Vojvodina, while the art collection represented the founding stone of the newly formed institution – the Gallery of Matica Srpska. Since 1958, the Gallery has been located in a building in the Gallery Square. Today, you can see the permanent exhibition comprising Serbian paintings and graphics from the 16th to the 21st century. You can find information about the permanent and current exhibitions on the Gallery website<\/a>, or you can visit the Gallery every work day except Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The older \u2018sister\u2019 of the Serbian National Theatre is the Serbian Reading Room, due to it founding the Serbian National Theatre Society. Their goal was to bring drama and opera to Serbian society and thus influence the spread and development of Serbian culture and literature. The Serbian National Theatre was indirectly involved in founding the National Theatre in Belgrade because in the second half of the 19th century, the general manager and part of the ensemble moved to Belgrade and founded the theatre at the invitation of Mihajlo Obrenovi\u0107<\/strong>, the prince. Today\u2019s building of the SNP (short for the Serbian National Theatre) was moved in in 1981 with drama, opera and ballet ensembles being performed on three stages. The Serbian National Theatre is home to our oldest and most significant theatre festival – Sterijino Pozorje<\/em> – as well as Novi Sad Jazz Festival<\/em>. You can see the repertoire and buy the tickets on the website of the Serbian National Theatre<\/a> and, although you probably don\u2019t need the guidance on how to get to the theatre, we\u2019re just going to mention that the address is Theatre Square no.1 (Sr. Pozori\u0161ni Trg 1).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

During the Second World War, the theatre was closed and, unfortunately, it suffered great damage \u2013 the puppets, scenography and costumes were either destroyed or stolen. After the war, the theatre continued to work and change its name, first it was the Vojvodina Puppet Theatre, then the City Puppet Theatre, and finally the Youth Theatre in 1968 when the first \u2018live\u2019 play was performed. Today, there are two stages in the Youth Theatre, the Children\u2019s scene and Drama scene, with plays being performed in two halls. Besides Serbian, the plays have been performed in Hungarian, Rusyn, Slovak and Albanian language. The Youth Theatre is located in Ignjata Pavlasa Street no. 4 and 8. You can find information about the repertoire and how to reserve or buy the tickets on the web page of the theatre<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The youngest theatre in Novi Sad, the Novi Sad Theatre \u2013 \u00dajvid\u00e9ki Szinh\u00e1z, began its life in 1974 with \u2018Catsplay\u2019 by Istv\u00e1n \u00d6rk\u00e9ny<\/strong>.\u00a0For the next 11 years, this theatre won\u2019t have its own building<\/span>, <\/b>and it will stay that way\u00a0up until moving into the former Ben Akiba Theatre, where it still resides today, in Jovana Suboti\u0107a Street no. 3-5. <\/span>The repertoire consists mainly of the plays written by Hungarian writers and writers from Vojvodina, but there are some classics as well. All plays are in Hungarian, while the ones from the fixed repertoire are translated into Serbian, thus you\u2019ll have no trouble watching the plays even if you don\u2019t speak or understand Hungarian.
