History of the Archaeological Department
Development
of the Archaeological Department was not parallel to the development
of the Museum. The first archaeological material was purchased as late
as 1932, and the first archaeologist in the Museum, Miodrag Grbić,
was its Director at the same time. Since 1941, a special
archaeological collection has been formed. Till the World War II, the
Shtaudinger’s collection was the basis of this department. After
1945, the material consisted of 322 objects. Through archaeological
excavations, purchases and gifts, the number of artefacts rose to over
48.000.
