The gallery was founded in 1847 in Budapest under the auspices of Matica Srpska, the oldest cultural, literary and scientific association amongst the Serbs. With a collection of about ten thousand works of art important for Serbian national art and culture in the period from the sixteenth to the twenty-first century, it is one of the richest art museums in the country.
