I'm going over the Small bridge, which crosses the former river Begej, to the National Museum. River Begej, that part of it which is flowed through old core the city, some thirty years ago was turned into a series of lakes. Behind me is the Reformist church, and in a small distance it can be seen a Town House. I draw to the National Museum, dignified two-story building built in the academic style new Renaissance. I am particularly pleased by the fact that the collection of fine art in it
highly appreciated and rich. Behind of rather modest front door, and a small hall, I climb the by marble stairs to the inside of the museum. After a brief consultation with the kind curator I have decided that, with the help of audio-visual guide on the cell tablet, independently and without an expert guide, tour the rich Permanent exhibition by the Museum in Zrenjanin offers..
I read on the cell tablet, that the museum is located in this building since 1966 and that it was built from 1893. designed by architect Istvan Kish. While still in the ground I am going to visit the exhibition rooms. In the showroom, large and representative, now is Exhibition of national costumes, from the former Yugoslavia, while in the Small Salon exposed gusles, a traditional stringed instrument of mountain landscapes.
Then I climb by staircase, stomping on marble already "polished" by centuries of walking, to the first floor. There is Art Department. First I come across on Applied Arts, which is partitioned into several rooms, and the collection represents objects from the 19th and 20th centuries. In my eyes first fall of the so-called "Folding table", who once worked in the local furniture factory "Bence and son." In another room of the "departments" is dominated by a "Mirror" that rises from the marble slab, and decorated with mother of pearl, brass and metal. This item is purchased in Trieste. The room number three dominated Biedermeier style. It draws attention to me one style chairs, upholstered in pink silk, which carries a pattern of colorful flowers. Furniture from manorial Castles, here called Kaštel, which exist in many places in Banat, meets next room this collection. To my taste was Cabinet-library, as well as that it contacted the writer in me, although I later saw that the subject is too decorated with Renaissance and Baroque applications and figures.
I move on to class "fine arts.". I first look around the self-taught artists, the so-called "Zograf" from the 18th century. And how deeply I go into this "avenue" of local, regional and national artists of Vojvodina and Serbia, my enthusiasm is growing. This museum really kept art treasures of this nation! In solemn silence simply art galleries full of luxuries stand next to one another painting pictures of my favorites from the past. Starts with Konstantin Danil, misunderstood giant Pannonia and the Balkans. Until it was thundering and romantic rebel poet and painter Djura Jaksic, called the Serbian Byron, with a picture of "The Nanny." Not far away stands the portrait of King Petar I Karadjordjevic, painted by Uros Predic, one of the greatest painters of Serbian realism. Canvas "Happy inhabitants of Banat", which "signed" by Stevan Aleksic fascinates with its almost photographic precision. Before painting "Female Nude" experiencing a little aesthetic shock that Aleksandar Sekulic their skill causes.
After the small stopping, it was necessary to take care of impressions, and return to some pictures, I come to Save Šumanovića very significant Serbian painter. I soon found himself in the legacy of Uros Predic, which is a story in itself. And who'll be right back. The characteristic pictures of the famous painter from Zrenjanin Tivadar Wanjek , he gave his town a legacy of paintings, that decorated the next room. I admire the wonder of his baroque-geometric vision and views of the Banat. In muffled twilight colors this painter was revived a world of our reality we looked at but not sufficiently recognized!
In the next room follow legacies female painter (Paulina Sudarski, Frederic Benda, Markov Zlata Baranja and Ljubica Tapavički), then one can see the sacred artifacts of painting, as well as selected sculptures and etc.. On this floor there is also a memorial room of significant Zrenjanin (Bečkerek) Symbolist writer Todor Manojlovic. The manuscripts, personal items, photos, paintings evoke the ambience in which created this significant artist and protagonist of modern art in Serbia.
I'm tired of sightseeing from this readiness of exhibits and artistic works, but even more I experienced a sense of mental saturation caused by getting low concentration that is consumed by the hour.. And at the Museum I am more than two and a half hours. So I decided to look at another picture of Uros Predic before today's visit to the National Museum finish In Room of sporting history.
I'll be back in Predić`s legacy and I stop in front of a picture called "The vision in the clouds." The particular combination of the real, metaphorical and allegorical affect a strong and mysterious. I'm ready now to finish the visit. However, as I said, on the same floor is placed and Room of sporting history. Here me draws attention to photos Kemenj Ferenc, who was born in Great Beckerek, one of the key actors in the establishment of modern Olympic games. As well as photographs citizens of Zrenjanin who have won medals at the Olympics. And that was the end of my today's tour of the museum. Be back in a few days when I go to the second floor but also in the attic where was a long time ago lived my friend significant Serbian novelist Pavla Ugrinov. I am pleased that my expectation of the Fine Arts section of the Museum fulfilled. Moreover, I'm looking forward to another trip to this renowned cultural institution.

„Tosa Jovanovic” Zrenjanin theatre
By Zoran Slavic
Zrenjanin, previously known as the Great Beckerek and Petovgrad, a city of about 100,000 inhabitants, is the seat of the Banat region, in the province of Vojvodina, in Serbia. What was once part of the former Yugoslavia. He is still a prestigious cultural center. The prevailing Serbian environment represented the languages and cultures of the Hungarians, Romanians, Slovaks and many other nations.
1839th built the first theater building in this city. For the theater and other events actually adapted State Grain magazine, which were originally built by settlers from Spain. In fact, in the 18 century, imigrants from Biscay and Barcelona have been working on digging up the remains Becskerek fortress which was demolished 1.701th. Then, from this region the Turks were expelled. Of residual material of the fortress built by the Grain magazine.The building, much later, it was the first building in Serbia for the art of theater. The story would not be complete and that it does not know the legend, and she says that theater is born from the immense love of a wealthy citizen of then Bečkerek the famous actress from Budapest. To get closer to himself and brought to his hometown, he has financed the building of the theater where actress perform.
The building was owned by the city. The town council in the first period gave way to the hall for free, with heating and lighting, theater company. They have appeared at first Hungarian and German troops, and later amateur groups from Kikinda, Pancevo, Vrsac. It is interesting that in a Bechkerek in German and taken out the play "Death of Emperor Tsar". The local newspaper "Grossbetschkereker Vochenblat" appeared regularly reviews of these Performances. Cultural life in this part of Banat is evident in mid-century speeds.
Today's appearance was developed after a thorough reconstruction and renovation of the 1985th year. The interior is preserved thanks to the original plans, restored and authentic. Baroque interior is of great beauty, acoustics and functionality, and is basically a chamber type. Annular space above the auditorium was decorated with wall paintings, which include all the usual elements of theater - there were floral wreaths, theatrical masks of tragedy and comedy...
1845th Becskerek born actor Tosa Jovanovic, after whom the theater is named today. Since 1945. in this building begins with the work of professional theater with great success participating in the theatrical life of Yugoslavia and Serbia. In later times, the structure of this theater includes the puppet theater, which also has a great reputation.
There are many great Performances played in this magnificent hall, a number of dramatic artists starring in her theater stage, a number of excellent puppeteer is rumored tales for children.
It is a remarkable director, set designer, costume designer. Alternated everyone but the audience enjoyed and applauded. Only the ancient hall, stylish changed through the ages but always noble and appealing looks 173 years gracefully allowed dramatic art that exists, and is realized!

( Zgrada gradske skupštine Zrenjanina – City Hall of Zrenjanin)
Coincidentally, the day before my official visit to the City Hall building, I was in the famous theater hall, which has just celebrated 175 years of existence. I watched a masterful theatrical performance, Moliere work "Don Juan", but even more intriguing was a reminder that this, at the time of Baroque built hall, constructed from bricks and other building materials, that are taken from the ruins of ancient Becskerek fortress. Those same fortress at whose "back" today proudly stands Building Assemblies of Zrenjaninthat I'm going to look around.
And now I'm in front of it, that Baroque beauty, which with its glazed, rust colored tiles, copper gutters and spikes on the towers, and pale-green foundation walls, dominating the square of Liberty and imaginary entrance in the old city core trading.
I nodded discreetly to the monument of King Peter Karadjordjevic, that which looks at me with dignity and a little tired, from his marble pedestal, through relatively modest front door I went to this building full of history, and of all politics. But and the city's memories. I enter the lobby of this building and immediately feel, perhaps of marble underfoot and spherical ceiling, some Austro-Hungarian flavor and slight respect. However, I am well prepared for this tour through part of the city history Beckerek, Petrovgrad and Zrenjanin, as this city was called since its foundation to this day - in my hand is the appropriate publication, that explains the history of the Town Hall. Publicist Miodrag Grubački really made very nice and helpful guide to the building and its history.
Throughout the glass door, on the opposite side of the entrance, I throw just look at the impressive city garden. Touring that garden and writing about it, I leave for for a next time, and along marble staircases, with visible signs of time and many steps, I went to the Great Hall and a tour of the cabinet of city officials. The light in gangways is somehow soft and quietened. It comes from the environment and is refracted through stained glass windows, with historical themes.
From the publication of Mr. M. Grubački find out who is the author of the stained glass - it says that it works the Hungarian-Czech painter Eduard Kracman and to represent the "wisdom", "Justice" and "Power". At the moment I am confused that order because "power" is just not fit in the better of the previous two values, but maybe so considered and evaluated the people in the 19th century? I move further into the insides of this palace, I am impatient to see the famous Great Baroque hall! However, at the very end, I stop in front of yet another attraction of this object. In this semi-circular lobby, where they meet the stairs on each side, nestled in a thick wall, with dignity standing so-called "Pantelić`s clock", installed and put into the job of measuring time back in 1902 years. Its mechanism of simultaneous launches
four apart dials. The clock showed identical to the time in the Ceremonial Hall, on the balcony visible from the town square, the one on the façade facing to the garden and finally in the lobby, on the clock mechanism, beside which I stand. Another hour in the lobby of wrought iron is a gift in gratitude to regional authorities by urban artisans, who, after the reconstruction of the building, get a chance to develop and two iron gates. It is assumed that it was made around 1890. This complex structure of this clockwork I for a moment reminiscent of the famous "Astronomical clock" located in the Old Town hall in Prague! It is much more complicated but with associations nobody can command! But, my feet already carry me on Baroque hall. I leave "Pantelić`s clock" to "bothering" with elapsed time, technical failures and the present moment, and I'm going in the short but impressive city hall
First I entered into one spacious lobby, which is part of a unique space Halls, separated with only with columns and arched walls of the central part these rectangular "shells" which is surrounded by terraces and other baroque decorative plastic. The windows overlooking the town square are painted with scenes from the life of the Austro-Hungarian feudal empire. As I entered in this famous hall, watching the tall conical ceiling, I was all the more convinced that elegant and playful Baroque hall much more suited to its secondary purpose - music, drama and Literary programs, while its daily use - session of the municipal authorities and similar political events is something that this Baroque “shell” has just submitted.
From Baedeker, that this time I carry with me, I learned that the decoration of the hall, a long time ago, in the 19th century did Joseph Geugner, a painter from the former Beckerek. I went over to the window, my view of Square stopped at the monument of King Peter. There is, and keeps the city! Right from where I stand, protruding like command bridge of the City baroque nave, stands solemn Balcony, who has seen many of the city's history, which flowed down below it. But, and about that, in another article!
It's time to return. On the square, in everyday life. Get off those little worn stairs, on the other side of the staircase approach, because, as the proverb says, is wrong to return the same way! From the reminders of the City Hall, like to hear a voice by Mr. Grubački: This building, after the great fire of 1807, was built on the place of the old County building, which lasted from the departure of the Turks, designed by Ing. Joseph Fischer. However, this facility that I have just visited, is polished and renovated in 1830 ... Mr. Grubački to me, probably, still tells the story, but I've already reached the the exit. I stand now, from the City hall behind my back, looking at the Cathedral of Ivan of Nepomuk, I see and Theatre, while the City National Museum, on the right side to me, entrance to peripheral vision.
At the last moment I remember that I need you to explain the meaning of the title of this text. Anyway, below this City houses are parts of the previous building, those that disappeared in a fire, and below it there are the walls of the ancient Becskerek fortress, from the 16th century. This fortress was, after the peace treaty between Turkey and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, destroyed during the 19th century, while the construction material, stone, brick, beams, used for all kinds of new construction in the city Bečkerek, the existing small town. Legend says, however, that they are under the current City houses were left foundations of the legendary fortress, which is architecturally resembled to fortification of Timisoara, and that in the dungeons under this palace, this behind my back, hiding many of the secrets, which will draw attention of residents of Zrenjanin, as well as future foreign tourists. Until then it's worth and still enjoy in the Baroque who lives on the back of the Banat fortress ...

The Roman Catholic Cathedral of Zrenjanin is situated on the main city square. This church was built in 1868, when the city of Zrenjanin (then called Veliki Bečkerek/Nagybecskerek) was part of Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was renovated a couple of times and now it stands as new as it was built yesterday. Both the interior and the exterior of the Cathedral are very well preserved and very beautiful. The Cathedral has its own organ, which is one of the oldest in the Vojvodina region. Practically, Zrenjanin Catholic Cathedral is one of the main symbols of Zrenjanin. Do visit it if you're in Zrenjanin, you won't regret it.

The central city square in Zrenjanin, where I stand now is linked to many of my important memories.. The causes are personal experiences and great watershed events in the country and the city. Everything that I can remember in this plot has always been "attended" and a monument. As I grew up, it was changed but still standing on the podium of an important public figure! Such is the case with the monument of King Peter I of Yugoslaviain, bronze figure that I look from the balcony of the County building in Zrenjanin. I climbed up there and I reviewed the schedule of all the important buildings that mark the center of the city. And my memories of where I live now.
Before I get off the balcony, which remembers the many and long, close my eyes and repeat out loud the names of important buildings that surround the monument: Museum, Theatre "Tosa Jovanovic" Hotel "Vojvodina, the Reformation Church and the city library. For each binds me by some memories.
Then I Go around the current monument, I'll come over to the theater to pick up tickets for tonight's premiere, will be played Moliere's "Don Juan." I am reminded of the city's history as this is the second monument of Serbian King Peter I of Yugoslavia, which became the ruler of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, which precedes the state of Yugoslavia. The monument was placed there in Freedom Square for the first time, in 1926, and was the work of Zagreb sculptor Rudolf Valdec. German occupation authorities removed him in 1941, and from the destroyed building was preserved only kings head, which is now kept in the National Museum of Zrenjanin. In addition to the Theatre Box Offices meet famous domestic actor Jovan Torački. We're talking about the evening show, which quite modernized this work of Shakespeare.

It happened on January 17, 2006, when it was officially discovered it Crown Prince Aleksandar Karadjordjevic, the great-grandson of King Peter. Monument in bronze with a marble pedestal high around 7 meters, of which I am a monument 3.7 meters. Equestrian sculpture is unique in that it is supported on only two legs.
Then, with the Reformation church bell begins to count twelve hours. By centuries-long tradition of the Church, the Church of St. John of Nepomuk, measured the time in this Vojvodina city.
Then I'm going to the hotel "Vojvodina" to drink coffee. For years, I have done it with a few of his friends. As a ritual!

Today I am writing text about the City National Library in Zrenjanin. Of course, I know that every large city in the world has a similar cultural institution. However, only a Library in Zrenjanin was named Zarko Zrenjanin, only in it already forty-eight years published magazine “Ulaznica", and there is a Memorial Literary Foundation "Todor Manojlovic", and to me, this time, be a little immodest, and himself to commend, this institution provides an opportunity for the citizens of this city, among other things, to read fifteen Literary works that I wrote. Therefore, this morning I go into that library to borrow a book, a novel by great writer Pavle Ugrinov "Fascination". Nevertheless, and to explain potential visitors to the town of Zrenjanin why it is worth to spend a few hours visiting the library and this house with an interesting past.
I buy a newspaper at a kiosk in front of the Theatre, and next to monument to King Peter Karadjordjevic, who is always there, cross the square. I am already in front of the City Library. The building freshly colored in a challenging combination pink and terracotta, what I've seen on the façade of the Museum of Salvador Dali in Figueres, under the playful morning sun, just symbolically radiates to the entire square some optimism. This building as if it suggests what a treasure is kept in their cabinets. Before I get into this single-storey structure, with adjustments attic, I have to repeat knowledge about its history. I am doing it much more for the tourists that are now considering whether to join with me.
Official data from the History of this building, of 1305 m2, which is today a Library, really, is extraordinary. The building was built for the needs of the editorial board Beckerek’s daily newspaper, “Torontal “, when the family Brayer owned it. After the First World War, on the ground floors are located the famous tavern with name “Solyom", owner Djordje Solyom. Since 1959 in the building was posicioned Serbian cooperative societies. Since 1967, the City of Zrenjanin has given the building to use the City National Library, Zarko Zrenjanin ". The entrance to the library is modest but functional and clean. At the first door, on the right side, I turn in the "Children's Department". It is spacious, bright rooms, full of optimism and good cheer. Everywhere there are children's books, computers, and space for Reading. On the walls are playful posters and the quotes of famous writers. With children, which came to borrow a book, doing young girls and women? You can hear a slight murmur of space filled with children and young people. I return to in the corridor. Then I encounter to kind of sales exhibition, called "Club books." It is a corner full of new and attractive editions of all Literary genres. Therefore, here you can buy the book.
However, since I only want to borrow a book, because that's why I came today to the Library, I start to climb upstairs. Now, however, I have changed my mind and resolve to go to the printing firm, because this library has and such activity. Then I come across the kind of sales exhibition. Go through the "book club", and after greeting with a friend in Printing Houses, finally refer to "Lending Department." It is the heart of every library in the world, including this one! Suddenly I find myself in a labyrinth of books in several languages, old and recent. While waiting for a librarian to find the book "Fascination," I am going to the “Scientific Department”, where I meet with famous Serbian sociologist dr Todor Kuljić, which is, precisely published, by this Library, the book "Transition of mind." Together we refer to the "Heritage Fund", in which it is collected edition of all the authors in this area. We are looking for some old copies of the magazine "Ulaznica". Otherwise, the library has a dynamic publishing activity, which publishes books of important Serbian authors as well as native writers.
I get the requested book Pavle Ugrinov and slowly descend toward the exit. I think about what I was not aware how many activities in this library. When I was back on the town square, get out with the thought that neither of the previous activities of this building, one of the past, are not beyond the current cultural context. Initially, here is operated daily newspaper. Then, it was a pub, and in such facilities was used to read newspapers. It is now in the building housed a library with Reading room, where you can flip through all kinds of newspapers, and see photos from barroom past. In this way, the circle of public and cultural life closed.
A Morning in the City National Library in Zrenjanin, as you have seen, can be very interesting!

As soon as I stepped into the street, which marks the National Museum, I saw a slim and white silhouette of a tower that is simply tearing into the clouds before the storm. In front of me is a little bridge, painted in green color, which gives it merely impressionistic ease. I see, so Small bridge and tower Evangelist Reformed Church, which is slashing illuminist frowning sky. Condition impending disaster, as opposed to the canonical peace that was the day looked at the old photos, as I walked the trail of ancient secrets that lurk in the chambers of the City Museum.
While the Reformed Church in the white colored recalls the bride or device, with the top of the tower calling beam of sunlight, I'll take over an iron bridge that was built in 1904 on the site of a wooden bridge, and connects from strictest center of Zrenjanin city quarter called "Little America".
I cross the bridge and look down into the water, there is no longer flowing river Bega, in which I had long ago learned to swim. The bridge in the mid-eighties lost rivers - Bega regulation here was created lake, but most did not lose its significance. It is still one of the symbols of Zrenjanin. I'm approaching to the Reformed Church, which was built in 1891. I can see that it is a simple single-nave building with an apse and a large, two-storey tower. Over time it is a modern building of the Cultural Centre, below which are found in the construction of tunnels, which are from the former Becskerek fortress allows escape in case of siege. On the other side of the small square is a powerful building of the Palace of Justice, which is reminiscent of the building of Parliament in Budapest.
I go into a lot of modest interior this church but do not have time to think about its interior because me welcome cumbersome and solemn sound of the organ. Sacred space of religious object meets an exciting and solemn Bach's music. Soon I learned the story of how the organ in this church transferred during World War II, when the Synagogue in this city was destroyed in the bombing. Since then did her refuge and residence in the Reformed Church. While waiting for the return of any new of the Jewish temple - Synagogue, organ performs in a building that overlooks Monument, Little Bridge and the former river Bega.
I'll be out in a day that already sprinkle rain. If well look into the context of these artifacts, or peek into the commoner sense of mixing art and optics, which alchemy is kept on paper, then you get this approach to metaphor with one hand and the
Small bridge will be impossible. Because the sound of the organ and that these religious buildings that most small framed in card, the divine instrument saved from the demolished Synagogue, directly affecting the sky, which is rightly upset. Only Reformation church, with its milky white, fragile but persistent silhouette, defies the storm.
