The Journey of Tesla's Ashes: From 80 Trunks to Belgrade in 1957

In 1952, a significant event occurred regarding the legacy of the renowned inventor Nikola Tesla. Following persistent advocacy from Tesla's nephew, Sava Kosanović, a prominent Yugoslav politician, Tesla's entire estate was shipped to Belgrade. This monumental transfer involved 80 trunks, all marked with the initials 'N.T.', which contained a wealth of Tesla's personal belongings, documents, and artifacts that reflected his groundbreaking contributions to science and technology. The move was not only a tribute to Tesla's legacy but also an effort to honor his memory in his homeland. In 1957, Kosanović's secretary, Charlotte Muzar, further solidified this tribute by transporting Tesla's ashes from the United States to Belgrade, where they are now displayed in a dedicated memorial. This act of reverence underscores the lasting impact Tesla had on the world and the importance of preserving his legacy for future generations. The shipping of Tesla's estate and the subsequent relocation of his ashes serve as a reminder of his extraordinary life and the profound influence he had on modern electrical engineering and technology. Today, Tesla is celebrated not only as a brilliant inventor but also as a symbol of innovation and creativity, inspiring countless individuals around the globe. #mooflife #mof #MomentOfLife #NikolaTesla #Tesla'sEstate #SavaKosanović #Belgrade #ScientificLegacy
