The Museum of the Revolution of Yugoslav Peoples was founded in 1959 by the Central Committee of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia. The construction of the Museum building started only in 1978 in New Belgrade between the Palace of Serbia and the Ušće Tower. It was planned to open the building in 1981 at the 40th anniversary of the Revolution, but it was never finished. The unfinished structure stands abandoned and is occupied by several dozen of homeless people.
