Српска академија наука и уметности

This guide to the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Belgrade starts with three dates on one building that refuse to add up, and the scholars who waited for a palace built in their name. It follows the café owners, cloth merchants and stockbrokers who got there first, and the allegorical goddess watching from the facade. Painters, an art historian and concert musicians turn up too. Best heard on Knez Mihailova, facing the corner with Vuka Karadžića Street.
