Belgrade is home to one of the most exquisite museums on the Serbian territory: the Nikola Tesla Museum. This museum is dedicated to the engineer and physicist Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) who had made more than 300 revolutionary discoveries, the majority of them related to electricity and magnetism.
His discoveries led to technological progress. He was the one to use alternate currents to produce and distribute electricity, and the one to invent the rotating magnetic field. Because of this, the unit for the magnetic induction (in the International System of Units) is named after him: ‘tesla.’ You might be familiar with the fact that Tesla was the inventor of the high-voltage coreless transformer which at present bears the name of ‘Tesla Coil.’
The museum is situated in Belgrade, right in the center of city. The edifice which holds the exhibitions is a 1929 residential villa which was erected after the architectural plan developed by Dragiša Brašovan, a renowned Serbian architect. The Nikola Tesla Museum came into being due to a governmental decision made in 1952.
All the items found inside the museum were transferred to Belgrade from America due to Tesla’s wish. Tesla was actually an American with Serbian origin so he lived in the US. After his death, all his belongings became the property of his nephew, Sava Kosanovic, whom the American court had declared the rightful heir of Nikola Tesla. Kosanovi
