Museum of Vuk Karadzic Trsic

Tršić is the birthplace of Vuk Stefanović Karadžić, a Serb linguist and major reformer of the Serbian language (1787-1864). The birth-house of Vuk Stefanović Karadžić has been turned into the unique ethnographic compound which, together with surrounding structures of the Serbian rural architecture of the Jadar region, forms a cultural institution and educational center – the Vuk Karadžić Memorial Park was established to keep memory of the great work of the Serbian language reformer. The birth house of Vuk contains open fire place, tools and vessels, with characteristics of the 19th century of the Jadar area. In the room there is a bed, a table, a bench, an icons, a bag pipe and a portrait of Vuk Stefanovic Karadzic from 1816, work of Pavel Đurković. Numerous handwork and old-crafts workshops of the Vuk Museum in Trsic attract researchers, culture-lovers and pupils from Serbia and the world. The central manifestation of the Vuk Sabor is held on the open air amphitheater and traditionally starts with rising of the flag of this cultural event and the Hymn to Vuk, composed by Stevan Mokranjac

Vuk Karadžić reformed the Serb literary language and standardized the Serbian Cyrillic alphabet by following strict phonemic principles. Tršić was settled in the early prehistoric era. Since 1971 in Tršić every year is held Vuk’s Scholar Congress that UNESCO listed upon its Annual calendar.
