History
The house was built in 1934 by Vladislav Ribnikar. Before the outbreak of World War II, a shelter was buried in the back yard, and the building itself was prepared as a base for illegal operations. In the first years of the war, it hid illegals. and for some time was used by the Yugoslav Partisans (NOVJ).
In 1943, after Vladislav and his wife Jara departed with the Partisans, the house was confiscated and occupied by German officers.
After Yugoslavia was liberated at the end of World War II, the Germans left the house empty and vandalized. Ribnikar gave the house to the Communist Party of Yugoslavia to form a museum.
The Republic of Serbia declared the building a Monument of Culture of Exceptional Importance in 1979, granting it protected status.[2]
In 2003, the museum was closed, and the property was returned to the Ribnikar family.[3] Also, in the same year, Ribnikar Fond decided to use old Museum building, and open new museum, called "Museum of Politika and Serbian press".[4][5]
