The Miodrag Kostić Foundation has opened the Palace of Science in Belgrade, housed in one of the city’s most beautiful buildings on Kralja Milana Street.
This is Serbia’s first centre for the research and popularisation of science and the largest of its kind in the region.
Visitors to the Palace of Science can explore a permanent exhibition featuring over 30 interactive and educational exhibits. These exhibits showcase scientific phenomena and discoveries about humanity, Earth, technology, and space in an engaging way.

Among the highlights is the largest interactive globe in Europe, with a three-meter diameter and over 500 projections using NASA’s database. The first temporary exhibition, focusing on sharks, has arrived from the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
The Palace also includes a 36-seat planetarium equipped with state-of-the-art audiovisual systems, offering a 360-degree visual spectacle with hourly projections exploring the mysteries of space. The Show Lab space features projects developed in collaboration with institutions supported by the Miodrag Kostić Foundation, while VR capsules provide virtual tours of various locations through interactive 3D 360-degree video experiences.

Additional attractions include a Children’s Science Corner, a restaurant, a bookstore, and a science café where a robot serves coffee. The Palace also hosts event spaces for panels, workshops, and lectures on various topics, which the Foundation will regularly organise.
Alongside these public-facing activities aimed at popularising science, particularly for children and youth, the Palace also houses 20 scientific centres. Nineteen of these have been established in collaboration with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Belgrade, while the 20th is a digitalisation centre for Radio Television Serbia.
These centres conduct research across various scientific fields, including robotics, artificial intelligence, holography, power engineering, biomedicine, telecommunications, industrial automation, and 3D sound.
