===Sima Trojanović===

'''Sima Trojanvić''' ([[Šabac]], [[Serbia]], 2 February 1862 - [[Belgrade]], [[Kingdom of Yugoslavia]], 21 November 1935) was a Serbian ethnologist and the first university-trained [[anthropologist]], director of the [[Ethnographic Museum, Belgrade]], university professor in Skoplje and member of the [[Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts]].

==Biography==
Sima Trojanović was born in Sabac in 1862 to a merchant family. His father was originally from [[Bitola]], and his mother from [[Srem]]. He finished school in Šabac and [[Vinkovci]]. He graduated in [[Switzerland]] and in [[Germany]], where he studied [[natural sciences]]. He defended his doctoral dissertation at the [[University of Heidelberg]] on 4 August 1885, majoring in [[biology]] and [[anthropology]].

He started working as a teacher of German in a Grammar School in [[Čačak]] in 1886. After that he moved to [[Loznica]], and from 1894 taught there at a [[gymnasium]]. In 1898 he received a government travel [[stipend]] to study [[ethnology]] and physical anthropology in Vienna, Munich and Prague for two years. When he returned in 1901, he was named director of the newly-founded Ethnographic Museum in Belgrade. Like most European museums of the time, Trojanovic exhibited ethnological treasures in a rather aestheticizing way, and its policy was under the influence of national politics of that time.
In the world exhibitions that the museum participated in, the material was selected by Sima Trojanović. He was a curator and manager of the Ethnographic Museum until 1921 when he was appointed full professor of ethnography at the Faculty of Philosophy in Skopje.

Works by Sima Trojanović have had a lasting value for Serbian anthropology.

He was elected a corresponding member of the Serbian Royal Academy on 19 February 1921.
