The National Museum Kruševac, founded on December 19, 1951, in Kruševac, Serbia, collects, preserves, and exhibits over 23,000 artifacts spanning six millennia of regional history from prehistory through antiquity, the Middle Ages, Ottoman rule, and up to the mid-20th century. Housed in a neoclassical former gymnasium building from 1863 with Secessionist details within the Kruševac Fortress archaeological park near Lazarica Church and Prince Lazar's palace remains, its permanent displays cover Neolithic tools, Roman finds, medieval weapons tied to Prince Lazar's era, ethnological items, and art collections alongside temporary exhibits like military history shows. As a key cultural institution, it highlights Kruševac's role as a 14th-century Serbian political center while offering educational programs in a protected heritage setting.
