Tender for Development of Belgrade City Museum Opens for the Third Time – Job Price Increased by EUR 12 Million

The Secretariat for Investments of the City of Belgrade has opened, for the third time, the tender for the reconstruction, repair, extension and repurposing of the special-purpose facility at 40b Resavska Street into the Belgrade City Museum.

Let us remind that the previous two public procurement procedures, which opened last summer and the summer before, were canceled because, as said, no submitted bid was acceptable.

The price of the job has now been increased from the previous RSD 2.8 billion (around EUR 24 million), to RSD 4.2 billion (EUR 36.2 million).

The tender is open until April 6.

Let us remind that, after the preliminary design for the Belgrade City Museum building was selected in 2016, the next steps toward having this cultural institution getting its own building after 115 years were taken in February 2019. The urban project for the reconstruction, extension and repurposing of the facility at 40b Resavska Street was prepared by the Center for Urban Development Planning – CEP.

The first floor is planned for permanent exhibits in the part of the building facing Bircaninova Street.

According to the project, the part facing Nemanjina Street will feature a depot of museum and study collections. The part of the second floor facing Bircaninova Street is planned for permanent exhibits and spaces for educational workshops with the accompanying sanitary rooms.

The part facing Nemanjina Street is meant for a depot of paintings, sculptures and furniture. The loft is meant for the museum’s administration, management and accompanying services.

The plan includes the demolition of the current central staircase, which is oriented toward the yard, as well as the entrance staircase and a part of the gallery, for the purpose of forming a representative hall. The yard of the facility is integrated into the public spaces of the museum. The central motif of the yard is an archaeological lapidarium – a part of the museum’s outdoor exhibit. An exterior amphitheater with street furniture is also planned within the yard.
