Summary/Abstract: The memorials and museums belong to the public sphere and public life, representing an important component through which collective memory is being created and controlled. Their meanings are not given forever, but they change hand in hand with the needs and moves of political elites. The Museum 25th of May (Muzej 25. maj) and the House of Flowers (Kuća cveća) were established as the institutions of SFRJ, functioning in accordance to the state interests of the time. But, the political changes led, logically, to the changes in the work of Museum and the Memorial. I will try to explain the way in which the attitude towards past has been changing in Serbia (regarding social and political circumstances) through the research of these changes and the destiny of these institutions, on the emphasis of the change of their meaning and importance.
