The Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade was opened in 1965 at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers and represents the first purpose-built museum building in the city. Designed by architects Ivan Antić and Ivanka Raspopović, the building is shaped as a polymorphic crystal composed of six interconnected cubic volumes with cut edges. The facades are clad in white marble panels and partially executed in glass, while the sloped roof surfaces are fully glazed, creating a strong visual and spatial connection between the interior and the surrounding landscape. The museum is surrounded by a sculpture park featuring works by some of the most important Yugoslav sculptors of the 20th century. For this project, the authors received the October Award of the City of Belgrade for Architecture in 1965, while the architectural significance of the building was further confirmed through numerous awards granted to Ivan Antić, including the July Seventh Lifetime Achievement Award in 1969, the Grand Architecture Award of the Association of Architects of Serbia in 1984, and his election to the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts in 1976.
