The south side of the National Museum is the city's main plaza. The equestrian statue is of Prince Mihailo Obrenović (1823-1868), who negotiated the withdrawal of Ottoman troops from Belgrade. The city Cultural Centre also fronts onto the square. In spite of the imposing buildings, it's a drab concrete expanse thronged with traffic along Francuska.
The Republic Square or the Square of the Republic is one of the central town squares and an urban neighborhood of Belgrade, located in the Stari Grad municipality. It is the site of some of Belgrade's most recognizable public buildings, including the National Museum, the National Theatre and the statue of Prince Michael.

Народни Музеј
Founded in 1844, it has more than 400,000 items on 3 floors. It's organised into Paleolithic, Ancient History, Middle Ages and Modern.
Sephardic Jews settled in Belgrade from the 16th century, as the Ottomans welcomed those fleeing Spanish persecution. The Ashkenazis arrived in numbers from the 19th century, escaping Tsarist Russia, and completed this synagogue in 1924. It's still active, but now closed to visitors because of the risk of attack. (It's the same story with the Jewish Museum at Kralja Petra 71a.)
Family-friendly place with all the fairground usuals: distorting mirrors, Ames Room, and so on.
Историјски Музеј Србије
Huge collection of materials about the Serbian nation from ancient times to the present. In the coming years it's intended to move to new premises on the site of the former railway station.
