Due to the measures in force in order to protect the population from Covid-19, visitors will be able to see the exhibition while respecting the measures of maintaining physical distance and wearing protective masks.

During working hours, the Nikola Tesla Museum will screen a film that chronologically depicts Tesla's life, from his birth in 1856 in Smiljan, in (now) Croatia, through his years of attending school in Europe and his first jobs and inventions, to his departure for the United States and the most prolific period of Tesla's work, that has resulted in a large number of inventions, new technical solutions that have been formulated and protected through over 300 registered patents.

The permanent exhibition of the museum displays personal items that the scientist used every day, instruments from his laboratories, as well as the urn with Tesla's ashes, which has been kept in the Museum since 1957 with special reverence.

Data on Tesla's life and key areas of his scientific work are illustrated with a large number of photographs and documents from his legacy that are now kept at the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade.

The exhibition also shows Tesla's inventions from the late 19th and the early the 20th century, which, thanks to their simplicity and universal nature, are still in use today and are a part of the environment of modern humans.

"Demonstrations of the way models of Tesla's most significant inventions work particularly contribute to the attractiveness of visiting the museum, especially the high-voltage transformer, in which visitors can also participate during tours with expert guides," the museum says.
