The recently published book by the Museum "Tesla's Decorations" is beautiful. The previous director of the Museum, for 14 years, was Professor Dr. Alexandar Marincic, a member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and an expert on Tesla with many Tesla related publications. We thank all the staff of the Nikola Tesla Museum for their work and dedication in keeping the memory and work of Nikola Tesla alive. They deserve our admiration.
The Museum is now over 40 years old. In the Museum, there are many things which were brought from the United States of America to Belgrade, Yugoslavia, after Tesla's death by his nephew Ambassador of Yugoslavia Sava Kosanovich. Without Kosanovich's work and effort, the Tesla Museum in Belgrade would probably not exist. Nikola Tesla was in the past and is even today the greatest cohesive and unifying force of many nationalities of the Balkan regions and former Yugoslavia. Almost every child in the Balkans knows about Nikola Tesla and his contribution to humanity.
