Kikinda National Museum

About

Founded in 1946, the Kikinda National Museum is housed in former building of the Greater-Kikinda District Magistrate. Behind its Baroque facade, the museum has an exceptional palaeontology department, displaying the original mammals of Kikinda, including one of the best preserved mammoth skeletons in Europe, supplemented with a 3D movie about the creatures. The museum also catalogues the development of man from the Bronze Age, through ancient relics, and an ethnographic collection featuring agricultural tools and domestic crafts. Within the Fine Art collection, the 19th century portraits by Nikola Aleksić give visitors some insight into the rebirth of the city’s bourgeois society.
