Using special 3D glasses and special technology of the projection, an illusion of the third dimension is created for the spectators making it possible for them to "enter" the Belgrade of 600 years ago. This type of presentation of history changes all standing rules and regulations. The past becomes interactive present. The reconstruction was carried out in every detail. The visitors can "enter" the structures inside the fortress, "see" their interior and exterior, enjoying, for the first time, an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the appearance of the fortified Belgrade of the time.
The presentation took place in Barutana in Kalemegdan. The first official projection was attended by the delegations of the mayors of a number of foreign countries whose municipalities had twinned with the Belgrade municipalities, members of the diplomatic corps in Belgrade, representatives of the media. Daily, there were three projections before the full house in Barutana. The audience had to wait in line to get to the projection. Part of the projection was presented in a TV broadcast which generated a huge interest of the public. Because of that the projection was repeated during the Days of Belgrade celebration in April 2005 and later on in October 2005.

At the exhibition 20th century – the age of wars, the century of the evil ones there were 94 exhibits, one feature film from the Yugoslav film archives central part of the exhibitionand 99 slides of the prisoners of Gestapo and the Special Police. The wars that Serbia took part in were represented and a memorial service sui generis was held for all the citizens of Belgrade killed in those wars, including the bombing by the NATO alliance in 1999. The exhibited documents present the sacrifice and the ethics of the Serbian Army and civilians in war events.
Belgrade has always been the place where people of different nationalities, religions, professions and political orientations have lived together and it is in this exhibition that one can see their life together and their common suffering in times of war.
What intensified the emotions one felt upon facing the photographs and documents bearing witness to the atrocities of the wars is a special exhibition arrangement. In the central part of the Gallery a concentration camp guide to the exhibitionwas reconstructed with symbolically represented barbed wire and with the letters that the prisoners had sent surreptitiously through the wire. The names of those killed in the camp, written on the floor, warned the visitors not to step on the name of the victim killed in the camp or in one of the places of execution. This was done intentionally to remind the visitors of the large number of victims whose places of execution and the place they were buried in are unknown.
