House of Flowers
Monument Mausoleum and memorial museum for Josip Broz Tito
In Belgrade’s Dedinje quarter, the House of Flowers is Josip Broz Tito’s mausoleum and museum, holding personal effects and floral tributes. Visitors come for Yugoslav history and the adjacent memorial complex.
The House of Flowers is a small memorial building in the Dedinje district of Belgrade that serves as the final resting place of Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito. It is part of the Museum of Yugoslavia complex and functions as a mausoleum and display of personal items associated with Tito.
The interior contains Tito’s tomb and a display area where wreaths, floral tributes, and some personal effects are kept on view. The space is compact and typically visited as part of a trip to the Museum of Yugoslavia rather than as a standalone attraction.
The structure began life as a covered winter garden adjacent to Tito’s residence and was repurposed as his mausoleum following his death in 1980. Since then it has been maintained as a memorial and museum site within the wider museum complex.
The House of Flowers sits on the Dedinje hillside in Belgrade, within the Museum of Yugoslavia grounds and close to other memorial buildings and the former presidential residence.
