Lyceum of Dositej Obradović

The Museum of Vuk and Dositej is a memorial type museum dedicated to the educator and the first Serbian Minister of Education Dositej Obradović (1739/42 - 1811) and the reformer of the Serbian language, the creator of the Serbian literary language, Vuk Stefanović Karadžić (1787 - 1864). It was founded in 1949 with the task of collecting, preserving, studying and exhibiting materials directly related to Vuk and Dositej (their handwritten works, letters, first editions and other objects), all written and printed material related to Vuk and Dositej and material that complements the depiction of the time in which they worked. In the year of its founding, the museum was awarded a reconstructed building of the Oriental-Balkan Type. During the First Serbian Uprising (from 1809 to 1811) the Great School, the first higher education institution in Serbia, operated there.
