Old houses: Manak’s House Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Galejnik: Unfortunately, this cache has been disabled for long time, since the owner doesn't live in Belgrade. The bench obviously doesn't help very much as a place for the cache, so until my next visit to Belgrade this cache will be archived.
Sorry for that.....

Geocache Description:


Old houses: Manak’s House


English



One more of the oldest houses in Beograd. Only few left; keep and protect them, citizens of Beograd!


Manak's House was built in 1830 and is the last surviving example of the old Belgrade townhouses. It was named after its first owner, Manak Mijajlovic, Macedonian merchant. In the upper part of the house lived Manak’s family, while the ground floor housed a bakery and bistro, and later a post office and shop



Today Manak's House serves as a showroom where there is a collection of the Ethnographic Museum. It keeps the valuable collection Hristifor Crnilović containing jewelry, costumes, books, magazines, photographs and documents. Manak's house often hosts exhibitions, book presentations, poetry evenings and courses in weaving and pottery.

Srpski



Još jedna od najstarijih Beogradskih kuća. Malo ih je ostalo; čuvajte ih, gradjani Beograda!


Manakova kuća je sagrađena 1830. i predstavlja poslednji opstali primer stare beogradske gradske kuće. Ime je dobila po svom prvom vlasniku, Manaku Mijajloviću, makedonskom trgovcu. U gornjem delu kuće je živela porodica, dok su u prizemlju bile smeštene pekara i bistro, a kasnije pošta i prodavnica.


Manak's House as a muzeum



Danas Manakova kuća služi kao izložbeni prostor u kojem se nalazi kolekcija Etnografskog muzeja. U njoj se čuva vredna kolekcija Hristifora Crnilovića, koja sadrži nakit, kostime, knjige, magazine, fotografije i dokumente. U prostoru Manakove kuće se često održavaju izložbe, promocije knjiga, poetske večeri i kursevi tkanja i keramike.
