ABOUT THIS ATTRACTION
The Krajina Museum keeps the region’s layers — the Roman Danube finds, the medieval Krajina and the wine tradition — in the town’s fine 19th-century building. The Mokranjac memory (the composer born in Mokranje, 1856) is the town’s second story: the music school bears his name, and the festival days sound his chorales.
HISTORY & BACKGROUND
The story behind it
The museum (20th century) gathered the Krajina’s collections through the region’s excavations and donations; the Mokranjac legacy (Serbia’s greatest choral composer) anchors the town’s cultural identity — the birth-house at Mokranje is the pilgrimage.
