Museum of Science and Technology - Belgrade this year marks its 30th anniversary. Since 2005, the seat of the Museum is in the building of the former first Belgrade power station. The Museum is a state cultural institution whose activities in the field of cultural heritage protection covers various fields of history of science and technology, which are grouped into sixteen professional sections. One of this sections is Traffic and transport with the Collection of the history of navigation as the richest one, including important archive and more than 10.000 photographs.
This is the only museum collection in Serbia within which exhibits and material related to navigation history are systematically collected. The collection is mostly formed through donations from large shipping and water companies, shipyards and individuals who donate objects, photographs, documents, books from their personal and family legacies and thus contribute to preserving the tradition and studying the history of Serbian river and sea shipping.
The museum is the owner of one historical ship - steam tugboat Župa made in Budapest in 1913 for DDSG from Vienna and first named Una. Name Župa tugboat carries from 1945 when she was assigned to the Yugoslav River Shipping Fleet. Župa is still waiting for funds to enable its reconstruction and presentation as the museum ship.
In September 2018 Museum of Science and Technology - Belgrade was the host of the Fifth Conference of the European Network of River Museums (ENoRM). For that occasion two exhibitions were opened: „Historic river vessels“ - joint panel exhibition of the participating museums, designed by MST designer Marko Jovanović, and „The Danube in Serbia - A Journey Through Technical Museums“.
