| Built in the middle XIX century as a residence and restaurant of the merchant Manak Mihailović, born in Macedonia, in the time of construction of new streets of Savamala. By its age, location and picturesque look, the house is an evidence of the last traces of Balkan architecture of the time when Belgrade began to overgrow its margins and develop into a modern European city. After a radical repair in 1966, it is the place of the Club of Collectors and the Club of the Devotees of Old Belgrade. There is also a collection of ethnographical objects by professor and painter Hristifor Crnilović. The building belongs to the Museum of Ethnography.
Manak`s house is the integral part of Ethnographic museum, a pearl of urban architecture of old Balkans, which keeps very important and worthy collection |
