SRPSKI SALON Pod je prekriven unikatnim tepisima sa stilizovanim predstavama tradicionalnih srpskih motiva, prema nacrtima slikara Lazara Vujaklije. Sva tri tepiha su osmi- šljena kao jedinstvena tematsko-vizuelna celina. Na dva tepiha se prepoznaju stilizovane predstave domaćih životinja, gradova i pejzaža Srbije, a posebno je zanimljiv tepih sa pojednostavljenim prikazima motiva iz srpske novovekovne istorije. Stubovi obloženi bronzanim reljefima s motivima iz istorije srpskog na- roda od 1804. do 1941. godine. SERBIAN SALON The floor is covered with unique rugs featuring stylised representations of tradi- tional Serbian motifs, according to the drawings of painter Lazar Vujaklija. All three rugs are designed as unique thematic-visual wholes. On two of them can be recog- nised stylised depictions of domestic animals, Serbian towns and landscapes, and the carpet featuring simplified depictions of motifs from Serbia’s more recent his- tory is particularly interesting. The pillars are covered with bronze reliefs featuring motifs from the history of the Serbian nation in the period from 1804 to 1941.

SALON BOSNE I HERCEGOVINE Sve zidne površine pre- krivene su oplatom od javorovog drveta. U ovom salonu mesto je našla najveća tapiseri- ja u čitavom objektu od 56 kvadratnih metara – Šuma , izvedena prema ideji slikara Voje Dimiri- jevića, Branka Subotića I Mirka Ostoje.

by the monumental frescoes ‘Flight to the Cosmos’ by Petar Lubarda, ‘Roads of Yugoslavia’ by Lazar Vu- jaklija and the triptych mosaic work“Creation of Yu- goslavia”by Mladen Srbinović. The idea, the curator explains, was for art to express the idea of prosperi- ty and faith in the future of the young socialist state. The ceremonial character of the biggest hall is determined by its crystal chandelier which is still to- day among the world’s 10 largest, with around 2,600 lightbulbs and weighing in excess of nine tonnes. The chandelier is situated under a glass dome, ena- bling this area of imposing dimensions to be well lit with both artificial light and daylight. The moment when the lights are turned on is really impressive and leaves one breathless. - The Palace really provokes admiration among guests and it unfortunately can’t be a museum be- cause it has an important function in conducting state affairs. But it fills us with joy when some or- ganised visit brings foreigners, and especially archi- tects, who cannot hide their enthusiasm, and when they praise us recognition of our maintaining of this space that is authentic in many ways - emphasises the curator proudly.

SALON OF BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA All wall surfaces are covered with a maple wood coating. The largest tapestry in the entire complex found its place in this salon. Measuring 56m²,‘Šuma’(Forest) was creat- ed according to the ideas of the painters Vojo Dimirijević, Branko Subotić and Mirko Ostoja.

SLOVENAČKI SALON (PLAVI SALON) Dominantna boja na- meštaja odredila je dru- go ime salona. Ambijent upotpunjuju detalji kao što je idrijska čipka na stolovima. Karakteristi- čan je tepih s motivima lova, tkan je prema na- crtu slovenačkog slikara Marinka Benzona. Jedin- stveno rešenje osvetlje- nja salona inspirisano je stalaktitima iz Postojin- ske jame.

SLOVENIANSALON(BLUESALON) The dominant colour of the furniture determined the al- ternative name of this salon. The ambience is completed with details such as Idrija lace on the tables. It has a char- acteristic carpet with hunting motifs, woven according to the drawing of Slovenian painter Marinko Benzon. The unique lighting solution for this salon was inspired by the stalactites of Postojna Cave.

The ceremonial part of the building is a kind of art gallery of the 20 th century, and special value is represented by the collection of works of Yugoslav painting and sculpture, as well as the applied art from that time
