Portraits for the Museum is a series of portraits showing fourteen people who took part in the project Square in 2012. Many were once members of the Yugoslav socialist youth, giving the exhibition venue were the portraits were shown—the Museum of Yugoslavia—a distinct personal and historical significance.

The Museum of Yugoslavia was formerly known as the Museum of the Revolution and was originally dedicated to the history of the Yugoslav anti-fascist struggle during World War II. After the country descended into civil war in the 1990s and eventually ceased to exist, the museum redefined its purpose – it became a space for preserving and interpreting the legacy of Yugoslavia. The museum is part of the memorial complex known as the House of Flowers (Kuća cveća), where Josip Broz Tito—the lifelong president of socialist Yugoslavia—once lived and where he was buried in 1980. Shortly after his death, the site became a place of national mourning, with people from across Yugoslavia forming kilometers-long lines to pay their last respects.

Portraits for the Museum was created specifically for this museum. It presents portraits of people who built the Tito landmark in 1981 and participated in Square in 2012, bringing their images back to the very place where their sense of (socialist) collectivity was originally forged.
