Summary/Abstract: Since the foundation of the Museum of Serbia 1844, a century and a half passed, filled with constant changes conditioned by the discontinuity of the political status of Serbia that directly affected the historical development of cultural policy, and con- sequently the development of museums, museum activities and museum network. The aim of this work is to present the his- torical development of museums in Serbia in relation to current models of cultural policy. After a chapter with a chronological overview of the origin and development of the first museums in the territory of Serbia, follows a part showing the expansion of museums that occured in the first decades after World War II, which had its ideological imperatives. Then a period of stagna- tion came, as a prelude to the crisis of the museum during the 1990s, which was among the elements of general crisis. The final chapter points out the dilemmas of a new beginning in the development of the museum in the first decade of the 21st century. This work basically presents a kind of summary of the chapter Museum Policy in Serbia - a historical overview of the author’s doctoral dissertation „Management of Regional Mu- seums in Serbia“, with special emphasis on the organization of cultural tourism potentials (dissertation in preparation, reported at the Faculty of Drama Arts, University of Art, Belgrade, su- pervisor.
