Art and Music

The national Montenegrin culture and identity lay a specific emphasis on and value art and literature. Despite the fact that they often have a lower level of global commercial recognition, they represent significant artistic accomplishments.

Arts including painting, sculpture, poetry, and film have a lengthy history. The nation's violent past has greatly influenced the well-known epic poetry, which is strongly related to gusle, another important aspect of Montenegrin culture. A stringed musical instrument called a gusle is from Montenegro. No account of Montenegrin music and folklore would be complete without it.

All genres of Montenegrin art can be seen in museums across the nation. There is much to learn about, from literature to sculpture and painting. The Montenegrin National Theatre is located in the nation's capital, Podgorica. Each year, thousands of residents and visitors are drawn to the city by the calendar's abundance of festivals, especially in the summer.
