The Serbian National Theatre in Novi Sad was founded in 1861 and is one of the oldest professional theatres in the South Slavic region. The current building opened in 1981. During this era, many public buildings in Yugoslavia exhibited a more sober, functional style—some called it a "prototype" of modern theatre architecture.

Of course, we didn't go inside. The new building didn't really fit between the older buildings.
