The National Museum of Montenegro in Cetinje is a complex institution that comprises four basic departments: Historical Museum, Art Museum, Ethnographic Museum and Archaeological Museum. Within the Historical Museum are King Nikola’s Museum, Museum of Petar II Petrović Njegoš, the birthplace of Njegoš in the village Njeguši, Njegoš Mausoleum on Mount Lovćen, Ćipur Church with archaeology site and the Mausoleum of Danilo I, while Atelier DADO and the Gallery of Contemporary Art belong to the Art Museum. The departments are situated in Cetinje, in residences that represent major cultural-historical monuments.
This museum complex, situated in the historic center of the Montenegrin historic capital and the metaphysical core of this small country, contains the most important material and spiritual traces of the existence of Montenegrin people and also partly of other nations inhabiting the territory of present-day Montenegro.
The institution was officially founded in 1896, the year of enacting the Law on Royal Montenegrin Library and Museum. Today, the National Museum of Montenegro has about 25,000 museum objects, 50,000 books, including many rarities and 100,000 archival units.
