The same had occurred several decades earlier when the Serbian Learned Society on 29 July 1864 took over the place and functions of the Society of Serbian Scholarship (), the first learned society in the Principality of Serbia, founded on 7 November 1841. The Serbian Royal Academy of Sciences was led by members, such as Jovan CvijiÄ.In 1864, the Society elected to its membership international revolutionary figures as Giuseppe Garibaldi, Nikolay Chernyshevsky, and Alexander Herzen, and was immediately abolished for this action by the conservative government of Prince Mihailo ObrenoviÄ.Founding of Serbian Royal Academy

Building
(File:KnezMihailova ped.jpg|thumb|The SANU building, completed in 1924.)From 1909 till 1952 Serbian Academy of Science and Arts Building was located at 15 Brankova Street. This building was demolished in 1963. After that the Academy was moved to 35 Knez Mihailova Street, in a magnificent building in the city centre, where it has remained up to now. Serbian Academy of Science and Arts (SASA), the highest scientific institution in Serbia, has been decorating Knez Mihailova StreetThe Cultural Heritage Protection Institute of the City of Belgrade, The Catalogue of the immovable cultural properties on the territory of the City of Belgrade, retrieved on 18 March 2016. for almost one century, bringing the spirit of French decorations and Art Nouveau in the architecture of Belgrade.The Cultural Heritage Protection Institute of the City of Belgrade, The Catalogue of the immovable cultural properties on the territory of the City of Belgrade, retrieved on 18 March 2016.The sketches, proposals and designs for the construction of this magnificent building were created from the first day of its founding in 1886; however, the Academy did not move in the building until 1886. Right after the founding of the Academy, the erection of the building was considered at the representative location in Knez Ðihailova Street, which Prince Mihailo ObrenoviÄ III donated for educational cause.The Cultural Heritage Protection Institute of the City of Belgrade, the file of the cultural monuments, the building of SASA.Considering the fact that apart from the plot Serbian Royal Academy (SRA) had no other financial resources, the erection of the temporary ground-floor building was considered until the conditions are fulfilled for the construction of the representative object in which two important national institutions were supposed to be located: The Serbian Country Museum and The National Library. In the following years SRA considered various ways of forming funds and acquiring financial resources for the construction of its building. The mutual fund of SRA, National Library and The Serbian Country Museum was formed in 1896 by the King's Decree, so that with the initial capital and its own plot, the Academy was able to begin solving the construction problem.File:Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Knez Mihailova (13810271995).jpg|thumb|left|The SANU building in Knez Mihailova Street, BelgradeBelgrade(File:Srpska akademija nauke i umetnosti 01 (8116577383).jpg|thumb|SANU logo)Affirmed architect of domestic architecture Ðonstantin JovanoviÄ was hired to make the design in 1900.About Konstantin JovanoviÄ see: Lj.

At the same time, with the attempts to obtain the adequate design, the interest of the three institutions for the construction of the common building was not constant. Dealing with the problem of permanent location, in 1908 SRA got to use the space in the building of Sima IgumanoviÄThe biggest Serbian founders: Gave churches, schools, orphanages to the Serbs, Telegraf, retrieved on 18 March 2016. endowment at 15 Brankova Street.С.M.

After more than two decades of attempting to obtain its own building, the Presidency of SRA, by the end of 1910 decided to entrust the design to Dragutin ÄorÄeviÄ and Andra StevanoviÄ.The Cultural Heritage Protection Institute of the City of Belgrade [5], retrieved 18 March 2016 The cornerstone was laid on 27 March 1914, by the Crown Prince Aleksandar KaraÄorÄeviÄ in the presence of the academics and the Ministers of Construction and Education.Ðnonymous, Daily News, Politika, 27 March 1914, 3. The construction works were assigned to the Matija Bleh's company, whereas the facade plastics and sculptural program were done by Jungmann and Sunko. However, the construction was interrupted by the beginning of the First World War.The object was finished in 1924, but due to high construction expenses, SRA failed to move into its new building; instead of that, the entire object was rented. Believing that the design of the SRA building was supposed to transfer the advanced ideas, architects StevanoviÄ and ÄorÄeviÄ created the design which did not rely on the previous designs in terms of its spatial and functional composition. Large sized building, which takes over the entire plot, was designed with the apartments and stores for rent and with richly оrnamented Art Nouveau decorated passages. In dealing with the facades, the authors did not completely abandoned the academic models of designing; they modernized one symmetrical, three-part division of facade canvas by introducing rounded corners, additionally emphasized with semi-circular bay windows. By introducing Art Nouveau elements in the form of three-part windows, of the аrabesque secondary plastic, modern designed details on the shop windows on the ground floor and the mezzanine, with the elements of French decorations, the authors achieved the luxurious facade program. The architectural plastic in the shape of floral arabesques, garlands and Art Nouveau masks, got a new dimension in the attic in the form of full sculpture of the symbolic meaning. The central motif of the main facade is the sculpture composition The Goddess Nika joining the trade and industry, whereas almost identical sculptural compositions The woman with the children were placed on the corners of the central protruding bay. One of those female sculptures is holding a torch in her hand, and the other one a pigeon.Ä. SikimiÄ, Fаcade Sculpture in Belgrade, Belgrade 1966, 64â65; D. Å arenac, Myths, symbols, Belgrade 1991, 24â25; Ð. ÐаrinkoviÄ, Architectural plastic of the Public objects in Belgrade, master's thesis, Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade, Belgrade 2005, 122â123. The identical compositions of children sculptures were placed in the attics above the corners of the building and along the side facades, creating one of the richest sculptural programs of Belgrade architecture before the First World War. SRA was in the rented building in Brankova Street when the Second World War ended.(File:Gallery of the Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences 2490.jpg|thumb|Gallery of the Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences)Right after the end of the war, in 1947 The Law on Serbian Academy of Science brought certain changes in its structure, when instead of the expert academies, six departments were formed as well as the certain number of the institutes. With the enlarged spectre of activities, the need for the necessary spatial capacities increased significantly, so the primary goal was the conversion of the entire building in Knez Mihailova Street into the office space, which included an extensive adaptation. The design was assigned to an architect Grigorij Samojlov,About an architect Grigorije Samojlov see: M. Prosen, Post-war opus of Grigorije Samojlov, DaNS 49, Novi Sad 2005, 46â48; Ð. Prosen, An architect Grigorije Samojlov, the catalogue of the exhibition, Belgrade, 2006. who, along with an architect ÄorÄe SmiljaniÄ completed the transformation of the inner part of the building, at the same time completing one of the most important interior designs. Samojlov showed extraordinary skill by reshaping the existing object into the almost compact academic combination with central atrium, he formed a two-tract office system, completely eliminated the passages, except for the central one, which was partially redesigned into the main entrance hall, whereas the ground floor kept its commercial character. The creation of the entrance from Knez Mihailova Street and designing of the access to the conference hall contributed to the realization of the representative space. According to the new concept, Samojlov designed the exterior in the modernized academic style with purified geometrized decorative repertoire. At the same time, the Congress hall was adapted, gaining the gallery and in the arched niches two paintings "The Science", painted by Petar Lubarda and "The Art", painted by Ðilo MilunoviÄ. Along with the adaptation certain changes were made on the very facade: the glass marquise was removed from the mezzanine, the mezzanine windows were changed, as well as the shop windows on the ground floor, a decorative dome was reconstructed and a cornice and all decorative elements were removed.File:Vlaho Bukovac - Art of imperishable beauty exhibition, SANU Gallery, 2020 2.jpg|thumb|right|Gallery of the Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences, exhibition of artworks by Vlaho BukovacVlaho BukovacThe building was officially and solemnly opened on 24 February 1952, when the Academy finally and permanently moved in into the building. In 1967, Samojlov did the design for the adaptation of the gallery on the corner of Knez Mihailova and Vuka KaradžiÄa Street. Perfectly composed interior left room for additional improvement during the next couple of years, so that until today it has been enriched by our eminent artists. The glass gaps of the final collimation line in the entrance hall were replaced by the stained glass done in 2000, after the drawings by Branko MiljuÅ¡, whereas the stained glass windows in the Congress Hall and in the foyer in front of the hall were made after the design of the academic Mladen SrbinoviÄ in 2005. Serbian Academy of Science and Arts, as the most significant scientific institution in Serbia, gave the biggest contribution to the improvement of the scientific thought, gathering many prominent names of Serbian, Yugoslav and world science and artistic creation. Its building, built at one of the most representative locations of Belgrade urban space, with its architecture makes the inevitable part of the evaluation of, not only local, but also national construction heritage for almost one century. Taking into consideration the undeniable values and the importance, it was designated as a cultural monument in 1992.A complete reconstruction of the exterior and interior was announced in 2020, with the goal being to complete the works in 2024 and make space for a new concert hall.WEB, ÐÑÑибабиÑ, ÐалибоÑка, Ðа 100.
