Without his inventions, our society today would probably be quite different: Nikola Tesla was a pioneer of electrical engineering who, with his idea of two-phase alternating current, provided the decisive basis for our modern power grid, since it was only through him that electricity could be transmitted over long distances without loss for the first time. Many other inventions can also be traced back to him. These include, for example, the first radio transmitter and the lightning rod.
At the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade, visitors can gain a comprehensive insight into the life and work of the scientist. A large part of the exhibition consists of Tesla’s personal effects, including many originals of his scientific works, diaries and photographs, as well as research instruments and private items.
