context_page_description: Memorial Complex in Idvor is dedicated to the life and work of Mihajlo Pupin. It is located in Pupin's native village Idvor in Vojvodina. The Memorial Complex in Idvor consists of Mihajlo Pupin's home, the Old School, the elementary school which he attended and the National Home which is Pupin's foundation. From 1979 Memorial Complex in Idvor is protected as a cultural monument.
context_section_description: The Old School building was constructed in 1843. Mihajlo Pupin was educated in that school. It was the school until 1979, when Idvor got a new, modern school building. It is in immediate vicinity of the National Home. The building has rectangular basis and its longer side with the entrance is facing the park while the shorter side is facing the street. It is the building made of bricks, it has only a ground floor and its roof is made of wood and covered with simple roof tiles. Its basis is symmetrical and there are central hall, two classrooms, annex rooms and two porches on the side of the school leading to the yard. The classroom turned into a museum has a walled furnace. All the rooms have wooden floors, but the entry hall floor is covered with the six-angled bricks. The façade is simple which is common for the architectural style of the age in the Austrian provinces. It exhibits the characteristics of simplified neo-classicist style flat lintels with the imitation of the arches, simple cornice and parapet plates. The front façade has two sections, the central one slightly projecting before the two lateral ones. The façade is divided by pillars between the windows and the pillars in the middle were additionally decorated with shallow rustic plates. The double doors on the main entrance have geometrical ornaments. The rear façade is simple, unornamented with the entrance at its center and two porches with three arches above them.
  In 1979, in the classroom at the right side of the entrance, the Museum of Vojvodina in Novi Sad has set an exhibition dedicated to life and work of Mihajlo Pupin, which stands to the present day. It unravels the life story of the great scientist, starting with the first steps he had taken in his parent's home to the immense success he achieved in the US and in his homeland. In 2012, in the other classroom, the village school teacher cooperated with the local Culture Center to arrange the ethno-exhibition of old items once used in the country. Other parts of the building are not used.
