The exhibition is divided in two parts.
First part of the exhibition is dedicated to the history of Belgrade’s coat of arms and its development from the epoch of despot Stefan Lazarević, Turkish and Austrian rule to the symbols Belgrade used in modern Serbian and Yugoslav states. The first part ends with a story how the heraldic standards and regulations were set in the end of last and beginning of this century, determining three versions of city’s coat of arms (basic, medium and big), city’s flag and their use.
Second part is dedicated to the development of modern Serbian territorial heraldry and development of symbols of Belgrade’s seventeen municipalities. It introduced to the public one of key heraldic rules – the coat of arms is determined by its formal description (blazon) which artists use to reconstruct the appropriate image (etalon). The exhibition represented etalons and blazons of the city’s coat of arms as they were described in the City’s Statute.
The exhibition can be seen in the Gallery of the Archives by the end of January 2020. Working hours of the Gallery is from Tuesday to Saturday, 10 AM – 5PM, the entrance is free.
