The multimedia exhibition about the assassination of the King of Yugoslavia, Alexander I Karađorđević, in Marseille on 9 October 1934, was organised by the Museum of Yugoslavia, at the initiative of the Ministry of Culture, under the auspices of President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić.
The Prime Minister said that the knightly king was killed by the criminal hand of Nazism and fascism, adding that the Museum of Yugoslavia is the right place for this exhibition, because Yugoslavia, whatever one may think of it, is part of our 20th century history.
The opening of the exhibition, at which Minister of Culture Nikola Selaković and Director of the Museum of Yugoslavia Neda Knežević spoke, was also attended by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Environmental Protection Irena Vujović, Minister of Information and Telecommunications Dejan Ristić, Minister of Foreign Affairs Marko Đurić, Minister of Defence Bratislav Gašić, princes Aleksandar and Filip Karađorđević, representatives of the Serbian Armed Forces and numerous other figures from public and political life.
The exhibition, which is open to visitors from tomorrow until 31 March 2025, showcases, among other things, the uniform the king wore when he was assassinated, a pair of headlights of the vehicle he was in, paintings, documents, photographs, portraits as well as numerous busts of the king.
