Please, resound the English soundtrack for the movie. The exposition is quite small. I give 3.5/5.

A good Tesla museum. It is interesting to learn the whole story of his life and inventions. It is a pity that the museum is small and the price is quite high compared to other museums. The cost is 900 dinars. All the staff speaks English. The guides tell only in English and Serbian, and then according to the schedule. The schedule may change, which makes it difficult to go to the museum. I had to come several times, because some days are separated for schoolchildren and tourists do not come in these days. It is better to call each other to clarify the schedule of the museum. It may differ from the schedule on the website.

This place is from the category of "I've been here" for me, and it's cool, finally)) We arrived at 6:30 p.m. and queued outside. We waited for half an hour and went in. We bought tickets for 800 rubles, the child is free (3 years). We went to the hall to the screen, everyone sat down and a video about Tesla's life began in English with Turkish subtitles. Next, a short tour with the inclusion of, I counted, 5 exhibits. The most important thing scared me and the child a little, the 500 kilovolt transformer was too loud))) We touched the electricity at the end)) the ball is very gently electrocuted)) We took a picture at the capsule with ashes and with a wax figure of Tesla.
About the visit: you need to know the schedule, I forgot to take a picture, but the main thing is that not all hours are free for visitors without a group. There are special hours for group visiting excursions in which ordinary visitors are not allowed. Exactly a free hour from 14 in (Serbian language excursion), and exactly from 19 free for ordinary mortals. And yes, everything is in English, one hour in Serbian per day.

It's a popular place with tourists, I haven't seen the locals.
They work at a strictly allotted time: excursions change every hour, so it is advisable to come in advance or be in an organized group (they arrive at the appointed time) and they are allowed in without waiting in line.
Every hour, excursions are conducted in Serbian or English; there are no excursions in Russian yet.
The museum premises are compact, more than 40 people are not allowed, while there are only 20-30 chairs for watching the 15-minute video from which the tour begins, the rest are practically in another hall, and they can no longer hear so well due to the acoustic features of the building.
We had a tour in English, while the film was with Serbian subtitles (it was hard for me to watch, because one text sounds, another on the screen, and I couldn't read subtitles).
After the film, a short story about the exhibits and Nikola Tesla.
And only then the experiment, for which many come. Then there is free time to buy souvenirs and inspect the museum's exposition (there is no excursion on it), although it is possible to divide 40 people into 3 groups and for some to conduct a tour of the halls, for others a film, for others experts, then switch. And so, from a group of 40 people (we had a children's group of athletes with us), they demanded, they did not ask, namely, they demanded SILENCE?!
Of the cons: there is no toilet, a cooler with water (at +35 it is clearly not enough).
The tour itself lasts 40 minutes. It is possible to leave your suggestions in the feedback book.
There is a hall for classes with children, where we watched a movie about Nikola Tesla. Personally, I was interested, but waiting for an hour outside in the scorching sun was not very good. There are 4 benches near the museum, but not quite in the shade. I was at the 2nd session in the morning from 11:00, I didn't make it to 10, because I was walking. You can only get to the museum by taxi, you will have to walk a little from the tram and bus.

A great museum. It is not easy to visit. Sessions are held once an hour. Everything is in English. Except for one session at lunch, it's in Serbian. 60 visitors are allowed per session. Tickets are for cash only. During the service: film screenings, experiments, oral coverage of the great man, free inspection of exhibits. The museum houses a capsule with Tesla's ashes, transported in the 50s of the twentieth century from the USA

The price is not typically high for Serbian museums, at 800 dinars per person. You can't buy a ticket in advance and arrive at the time, stand in the rain half an hour before the start of the tour on the steps. A 45-minute tour, of which 15 minutes is a historical film about Tesla's biography, then a demonstration of the coil, and then a self-guided tour of the remaining one or two halls (I did not go there). My wife dreamed of going to this museum, but she came out disappointed. By the way, the name Nikola is stressed on the first syllable.

At the time of the visit, the ticket price was 800 dinars. They only accept cash. It is better to come in advance, as they launch in groups of about 50 people and there is a queue outside. The museum will show a film about Tesla and conduct some fascinating experiments. After that, there will be time to inspect the exhibits. I liked the museum, but the price is a little too high.

The museum is small, I went through the first floor and was not allowed on the second floor, they said it was closed. To get on duty for 2 days. There is a passage in groups and you can stand for a long time in the bitter cold. There are 5 pieces of exhibits and that's it, 6 small rooms and that's it. Of the interesting things, only the coil was launched a couple of times and that's it. That's the whole museum. It was disappointing.

There are not enough exhibits for the declared name of the museum. Payment is only in cash, there is no toilet, they launch a sooo large group for a session - it turns out to be pandemonium, in which little is seen and heard. In general, only if you are curious for 800 dinars)

You need to come on schedule. I went in on the 3rd attempt. There are few exhibits. The docks seem to have been recreated (the text is smooth, the paper is white). Well, it's still fun. Anyone who is into the subject of electrics will understand how many awesome things he has invented. They just for some reason made it look like a mecca for foreigners. If you fail to visit, don't grieve too much.

An interesting museum, but just for once. Inside there is a part of the exposition with experiments and a part with history. Overall, it's a good place, but not one to stand in line.

They are allowed inside in groups. You have to wait in the sun - even at the end of October it's hot. There are few exhibits from Tesla's time inside, and a movie about him is shown on the screen. Then a demonstration of the operation of a transformer with lightning bolts and lamps glowing in the hands. That's all. It costs 800 dinars at the end of October 2024.

It was very interesting! It is a pity, of course, that the museum of such a great scientist did not make electronic tickets so as not to stand in line for an hour. But even in spite of this, we liked it. The experience with the coil is top!

We arrived at 14:07, the previous tour started 7 minutes ago (and was in English, it would have suited us), but we were not allowed to go on it. The next one at 15:00 is in Serbian, this is not suitable for us. And at 16:00 — again in English. But we didn't need a guided tour at all, so we were told to come at 14:30. We arrived at 14:30, and then it turned out that we had to wait 30 minutes outside on the steps in the sun so that there would definitely be a place for us at 15:00 (at the same time we were the only visitors at that time, there was no one else at all). Ie, it is proposed to wait 53 minutes, just to to get inside, even without a tour, and this is with the complete absence of a queue.
Payment is in cash only, cards are not accepted, admission is 400 dinars.
It's very sad, we never got inside.

The museum is very small. There is a huge queue to get in. Cards are not accepted, payment is in cash and in dinars.
We got there, but the hall was crowded. First, the film is shown, watched in English, subtitles in Serbian. Then they showed and told about the experiments, but, because of the crowded hall, nothing was visible. It was also difficult to understand something, I speak English, but not at the level of understanding information about the operation of mechanisms.
The most interesting thing is the Tesla transformer, it was demonstrated in operation. You can go for him.
There are other exhibits, but there are no explanations for them. The whole museum has 4 halls.
The lack of a toilet completely ruined the impression.

A small two-storey building , where a small video material about Nikola Tesla was shown for 800 RSD, followed by a small entertainment with alternating current. Access to the 2nd floor was closed. They showed 3-4 rooms and that's all ... there was not enough color …

A small museum. Cute, cozy, but still small. Guided tours are strictly by the hour, either in Serbian or in English. I was in winter, so I had to wait only 2 hours. As far as I know, if it were in season, you might not get in. It would be nice if there was a wardrobe at least. Well, audio guides in different languages.

An interesting museum, small, excursions are held in Serbian and English (alternate in time). At the end of the tour, a film is shown, and then a well-known experiment is carried out - you hold a fluorescent lamp in your hands (without wires) and when a discharge current is applied, it lights up. It looks spectacular. Everyone was satisfied.

Unfortunately, I can't put it higher than 4*. I've heard a lot about this museum, but in fact it turned out to be very small, most of the program is showing a film about Nikola Tesla, but I'm sorry - I can watch the film at home. The guide speaks without a microphone, it is hard to hear him. We may not have been very lucky, because there was a large group of Turkish tourists, and they were noisy, but the presenter could use a microphone!

If you want to learn something from physics, then this is not the place. The show is designed for the mass audience. Lightning, music (very loud) and breathe in ozone)

A small and cozy museum. In fact, the museum looks more like a tent. But at the age of 40, I was really impressed by the presentation of high voltage current. The presenter clearly had charisma, as the tour seemed frivolous at the beginning. But then I really felt like a kid who was thrilled. If you are in those parts, I recommend visiting this place. The Da Vinci Museum, which is more for adults nearby, will remind you how little we use our brains.

The importance of the museum is overestimated. It is very small and because of the large number of visitors, nothing can really be seen. The guide does not show half of the demonstration stands

A small but interesting museum. They are showing a film about Tesla and several experiments. Overall, it's not bad, but I was lucky to get there without queuing at all (weekday mornings). It's definitely not worth standing in line.

You will not be able to come and walk around the museum outside the group. You need to take a queue 40 minutes before the start of a new group (they are every hour). Keep in mind that some of the excursions are conducted in Serbian and some in English.

We couldn't sign up for the tour online. The site was giving an error. We arrived at the museum, barely found a free parking space. At the museum, we were told that since there are only two of us, my wife and I, we will not see the tour. Only groups of ten or more people.

Disappointment. There were queues for 4 hours on weekends. We came on weekdays. They are allowed in there once every half hour in groups of 16 people. I had to wait in the cold. The staff rudely dispersed those who were standing on the street to let out those who were inside. The wardrobe didn't work. The entire exposition consists of two very small rooms. Exhibits: clothes, safe, several appliances. Instead of the tour, they showed a small film (the film is not bad for the level of schoolchildren, but it is not worth going to the museum for it). At the end, an invigorating demonstration of an inductor and the world's first radio-controlled boat for 7-8 minutes. It is not worth the time spent or the money spent (800 drams per person).

Unfortunately, the museum is very scarce. It is so sad that the contribution and fame of such a person was reflected in such a modest and boring museum.
Out of sheer negativity:
1. Lack of a wardrobe (seriously, what is the difficulty not to make you sweat and carry outerwear with you?)
2. The lack of a toilet for visitors (many people go to the museum purposefully sometimes with children, a toilet for a museum is a normal household thing!)
3. The absence of an audio guide (people travel from different countries, it is very interesting to learn about the life of such a great man, whose image is printed on the banknotes of the country. Why is it difficult to buy 30 audio guides and rent them??)

Terribly insanely expensive and there was nothing to see, he was a prematurely astronomer studying the energy of the Earth and space and you have some small microscopes

The museum is small, with only about 4 rooms. But if you take an excursion (in English), which includes practical experiences, it becomes very interesting!
You start to wonder how we would live without his inventions... even at the household level: washing machines, hair dryers, air conditioners, etc.

I couldn't get in (So one star! We came twice, but we didn't get there. There is a live queue and if a group comes, they pass at the beginning, and the rest are joined to it. It's probably better to buy an excursion. I do not recommend it on my own. It was autumn and raining. I had to stand on the street(((

Very rude personal 😏
They put me out the door, it was rainy and I was without an umbrella, the staff was reluctant to answer questions and put me out the door in a very rude way. It was very unpleasant. Considering that I flew from another country and spent almost an hour searching for this museum.
