Summary/Abstract: Due to its cultural monuments that have witnessed many crucial historical events, Brankovina is one of the well – known places. It is the place where philosophical and artistic thought of Hadzi Ruvim is interlaced with theological and governmental efforts and literary morals of Ljuba and Desanka Maksimovic, and thus the oasis for the most sophisticated needs of a human. Various historical monuments, mainly from the 19th century – church of Saints Archangels with its treasury, buildings of folk architecture together with the fact that this village was the first bastion of education, make Brankovine one of the most significant memorial places in Serbia. Protectors of the place were the family Nenadovic. The persistence of Prota Mateja to develop the culture of living in his home village along with the spiritual connection and efforts of Desanka Maksimovic to improve living conditions in our times are the main characteristic of this memorial complex. During the museology processing and presentation of above mentioned monuments, we took care of the specific purpose of historical monuments as well as of the role of the historical and cultural figures that were closely linked to Brankovina – not only by birth, but by spiritual determination as well.
