dinasty dedicated to Virgin Mary), memorial museums such as Biljarda - Residence <strong>of</strong> bishop and ruler Petar II<br />
Petrovic Njegos and his successors, in which arms will be exhibited as the oldest exhibited collection in Cetinje<br />
and also collection which holds some <strong>of</strong> the most representative, authentic everyday things <strong>of</strong> Njegos' family;<br />
