It is the sixth museum of wax figures to be established in Europe.
The figures are created by renowned Serbian sculptors Zoran Ivanovic and Branislav Crvenkovic.
The collection includes a figure of Patriarch Pavle, noted for the intricate detail of his vestments.
Construction of the museum building was completed in less than a year specifically to house this collection.
The museum serves as a cultural educational center often visited by school groups studying Serbian history.
The Museum of Wax Figures in Jagodina is the first and only museum of its kind in Serbia. Opened in 2008, the facility houses over 30 life-sized wax figures of historical, cultural, religious, and political figures significant to Serbian history. The collection is arranged chronologically to reflect the development of the Serbian state and its identity. Key exhibits include figures such as Prince Lazar, Saint Sava, Nikola Tesla, and various modern sports icons like Novak Djokovic. The interior features thematic sets that recreate period-appropriate environments for the figures on display. The building is located within the broader Jagodina tourist complex, which includes a zoo and an aqua park.
Beside the life-sized figure of Nikola Tesla in the scientific section.
Combine your visit with the neighboring Jagodina Zoo to maximize your time in the complex.
Bring a camera with a good low-light setting, as the indoor exhibits are dim to protect the wax.
Visit during the shoulder season to avoid large school tour groups.
Do not attempt to touch or lean on the wax figures, as the oils from hands damage the wax material.
Closed on Mondays throughout the year.
