The Collection of Contemporary Applied Art and Design, founded in 1966, encompasses unique and series-produced artefacts of the most diverse materials that were created in the period from 1918 to the present day.<\/p>\n

The continuous collecting of inter-war applied art achievements started in the 1970s when Serbian society, excited by world museum trends, started to appreciate what had been created in this period. Over time, collections were formed of works by artists like Du\u0161an Jankovi\u0107, Milo\u0161 Babi\u0107, Vasa Pomori\u0161ac, and architect Svetomir Lazi\u0107, followed by applied graphics, medals, badges, household objects and clothing items. Thanks to the post-war flourishing of applied art, to which the Museum of Applied Art was actively contributing, the representative collections of tapestry, textile and contemporary clothing were formed as well.<\/p>\n

The collection of contemporary ceramics was formed in 1951, immediately upon the establishment of the Museum of Applied Art, and is comprised of ceramic art and industrial ceramics. The collection shows the development of ceramic as a material from the mid-20th<\/sup> century to present day. One of the key collections is the collection of contemporary glass, which follows the continuous development of artistic and industrially designed glass. Additionally, there is the\u00a0collection of industrial design and furniture, as well as the collection of metal and wood art objects.<\/p>\n

The collections of posters and graphic design, book illustrations and bindings, comic strips, caricatures and photography from the period after 1945 to the present day contain a rich diversity of articles. A particularly valuable unit is the collection of posters which preserves more than six thousand items. A special place is occupied by the collection of contemporary Polish posters, which represents a comprehensive and rich collection of works belonging to the field of Polish modern graphic design. A separate part of the collection of posters and graphic design includes the legacies from graphic designers and illustrators \u0110or\u0111e Milanovi\u0107 and Dragoslav Stojanovi\u0107 Sip.<\/p>\n
