The "Josip Broz Tito" Art Gallery of the Nonaligned Countries (Serbo-Croatian: Galerija umjetnosti nesvrstanih zemalja „Josip Broz Tito” / Галерија умјетности несврстаних земаља „Јосип Броз Тито”) was an art gallery in Titograd (modern day Podgorica) in the Socialist Republic of Montenegro, one of the federal subjects of the Socialist Federal Republic Yugoslavia. It was the only art institution established directly by the Non-Aligned Movement's decision.[2]
The Gallery was established on 1 September 1984 with the aim of collection, preservation and presentation of the arts and cultures of the non-aligned and developing countries.[3][4] The document on the establishment of the gallery was introduced at the 8th Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement in Harare, Zimbabwe where it was envisaged as a common institution of non-aligned countries tasked with the organization of the Triennial of art from the NAM countries which in the end never took place due to the Yugoslav Wars.[4]
Over the years of its existence it acquired a collection of some 800 artworks from 56 non-aligned and developing countries.[3] The gallery was formally closed on 4 April 1995 when the Parliament of Montenegro established the Centre for Contemporary Art of Montenegro which in full inherited the fundus of the "Josip Broz Tito" Art Gallery.[1]
