In 1958, within the new Belgrade Fair construction, which renewed its after war operation in the previous year 1957, a building for the television studio was designed, as well. When the building was finished, in autumn 1958, it was the first facility not only in Yugoslavia, but also in the major part of Europe, designed and built only for the television needs.

Sixty years ago, Belgrade Fair invited Television Belgrade to demonstrate the television medium at the 2nd Technical Fair. From this studio, on August 23, 1958, the test nine-day program of the Television Belgrade was broadcasted. Thus, this date is considered the beginning of the television medium in Serbia.

Sixty years later, Belgrade Fair invites the Television again, this time to celebrate its Anniversary at the 62nd Fair of Technics and Technical Achievements and the Television invited its peer Radio Belgrade 2 to show mutually what they were doing and what the audience were watching and listening to in the past six decades.

The Exhibition consists of three units:

1. The TELEVISION features with about ten major or minor devices from the earliest years of its operation (the first electronic color camera, the oldest film camera, the mobile tape recorder, the first TV set…). In the improvized studio of the first TV Daily News, the visitors acting as a speaker will be able to read texts in front of a camera about the television program, technics and various interesting points from daily newspapers and weekly magazines from the earliest operation years of the Television Belgrade.
