The Aeronautical Museum in Belgrade will be reconstructed and reopened to the public in the coming period. The state-owned company in charge of monitoring the concession of Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport has launched tender procedures for the financial estimate of the museum’s overhaul. The aim of the reconstruction is to “improve the museum’s functionality and secure a modern and competitive museum in the region”, the tender brief states, adding that the building will retain its original and unique shape. Currently run by the Serbian Ministry for Defence, the museum has been closed for several years due to a leaking roof and sewerage issues. The Serbian government has said that Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport a.d (the state-owned company overseeing the concession) would take over the running of the museum, while the state would provide funds for its overhaul. Located next to Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport’s control tower, the museum is a unique facility. Opened in 1989, it features a collection of over 200 aircraft previously operated by the Yugoslav Air Force (both royal and communist), Serbian Air Force, and others, as well as aircraft previously flown by several commercial carriers including JAT Yugoslav Airlines. Stretching over 10.500 square metres, the museum also boasts 130 aviation engines, radars, rockets, various aeronautical equipment, over 20.000 reference books and technical documentation, as well as over 200.000 photographs.
