Project description
The National Museum closed its doors to visitors 13 years ago, and last reconstruction was done 50 years ago. Now, its glow has returned thanks to main contractor KOTO and ALP inženjering company in charge of dry lining works. Both companies are specialised in reconstructions of cultural and historical monuments. The building was built as the State Mortgage Bank in 1903 and upgraded in 1933. After it was destroyed in World War II it was reconstructed and adapted into a museum in 1966. Today the building belongs to National Museum which keeps more than 400.000 archaeological artefacts and works of art.
