Biographer Robert Lomas once called Nikola Tesla "the man who invented the twentieth century". Today, people of the twenty-first century have a great opportunity to test the truth of these words thanks to the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade.

Nikola Tesla was born in 1856 into the family of a Serbian priest and grew up thinking that he would follow in his father's footsteps. However, life had other ideas. Nikola Tesla became an extraordinary personality and a genius scientist, who made an exceptional contribution to the development of modern science.

Throughout his life, Nikola Tesla changed several jobs, emigrated to the United States, made more than 1,000 inventions, and obtained about 800 patents. But his life's work was experimenting with electricity, which can be compared to real magic.

After Nikola Tesla's death in 1943, all inventions and personal belongings were taken by FBI agents for study, and a significant part of his diaries and drawings disappeared without a trace. Fortunately, Nikola Tesla's nephew Sava Kosanovic managed to return the confiscated items to their homeland. In 1949, he transferred them to the future museum named after his uncle.

The two-story museum with interactive exhibits was opened in 1952 in the Serbian capital. Today, it houses the world's largest collection dedicated to the life and work of the great inventor Nikola Tesla.

The entire exposition can be divided into three parts: personal belongings of the scientist, his inventions, and a laboratory, where every visitor becomes a participant in amazing experiments. More than 160,000 original documents, patents, and drawings of exceptional value, a personal archive of photographs and letters, hundreds of historical instruments and apparatuses, and even a funerary urn in the form of a golden sphere with the ashes of Nikola Tesla himself. Even though all the devices were created many years ago, they are still working. This fact once again confirms the words of the scientific genius of all times: "If you wish to understand the Universe think of energy, frequency, and vibration".
