СУБОТА 12.00 - 18.00 сати Museum of Naïve and Marginal Art (MNMA) in Jagodina, is a specialized institution, unique in Serbia, with a specific program of museum protection of naïve and marginal artworks by collecting, systematizing museum documentation, studying, exhibiting and publishing. In 1985, the Museum was named Museum of Naïve Art to be later renamed as Museum of Naïve and Marginal Art in 2007. In the beginning, the Museum worked on systematical museum protection of the works of naïve art, primarily Serbian and Yugoslav, to which international works were added in 1994. Following modern trends, the Museum extended the scope of its protection to the domain of marginal art in 2000. MNMA has a delicate task to provide integral protection of naïve and marginal art, thus disseminating the true idea on its essence and real artistic value, separating it from other forms of non-academic work, the field of amateurism and dilettantism. The most significant result of long lasting efforts and activities of MNMA is the fact that many deep-rooted dilemmas and illusions about the specific field of naïve and marginal art have been explained. Nowadays, wider artistic audience is obviously more aware of the extraordinary artistic potentials, high artistic achievements and truly creative energy in the most valuable works. In addition, naïve and marginal art is properly viewed and evaluated as a constituent of contemporary and equal to academic art. The Collection of MNMA is international in its character with more than 3500 works (paintings, sculptures, drawings and graphics) and about 400 artists from 1930s to the present day. There are the works from Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Macedonia, the Republic of Srpska, Slovenia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Belgium, Belarus, Brazil, Denmark, England, Indonesia, Iran, Italy, Japan, Cyprus, Malta, Germany, Russia, SAD, Turkey, France, Haiti, Spain, Chech Republic, Sweden, Switzerland, India among which are numerous representative works by our and worldly classics of naïve and marginal art such as Sava Sekulić, Ilija Bašičević Bosilj, Emerik Feješ, Bogoisav Živković, Vojislav Jakić…
In addition to representative permanent exhibition in 500m2 area, including the most significant works from MNMA collection, the exhibition activity of the Museum includes numerous independent, retrospective, group, thematic, study, international exhibitions in the Museum and other institutions in Serbia and abroad. Since its foundation, the Museum has organized more than 700 exhibitions. Within its rich international cooperation, the Museum has organized numerous representative exhibitions (Lausanne, Martigny, Paris, Sofia, Budapest, Bratislava, Prague, Valetta, etc.). Museum also organizes significant international manifestations, Triennial of Self-Taught Visionary Art and Colony of Naïve and Marginal Art, as one of the best ways to study and promote the development of naïve and marginal art in wider international area. Museum of Naïve and Marginal Art is a unique documentation center in this field of artistic creativity. Abundant documentation resources, systematized in several units through research and archiving, including inventory book, card and photo catalogues, library, archives, CDs and DVDs, records of exhibitions and authors as well as electronic documentation serve as an important basis for professional work and research, and study of naïve and marginal art as a whole or in segments. In addition to accompanying elements of exhibiting activities such as bilingual catalogues and other advertising materials (posters, invitation cards, picture post cards, etc), publishing activity of MNMA includes other publications: monographs, miscellaneous collections, graphic maps, calendars. Since 2000, publishing activity is extended to issuing electronic editions.
