Mihailo Valtrović (1838-1915) was a renowned Serbian scholar, architect, and professor of archeology.
The first archaeological teaching post at the Grandes écoles at Belgrade (University of Belgrade) was founded in 1881 and held by Mihailo Valtrović, who was trained as an architect at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and was deeply involved in the history of classical architecture. According to the preserved notes from his lectures, the definition of archaeology Valtrović suggested to his students, read as follows: "Archaeology is a scientific treatment of the art of classical epoch." In 1896, Valtrović turned his efforts to a reorganization of the National Museum of Serbia, where he also held a position. Gradually, he left teaching. His rather short, but significant activity at the university was marked by an effort to introduce rigorous scientific methods in the study of antiquities. The stress, however, was placed upon the educational importance of classical antiquities and its aesthetic and ethical values for the newly established state and its cultural development. In emulating the German example, Valtrović followed the path of the then-modern and well-organized university and totally ignored the political program of the German model.
