Galerija 11/07/95

The first Memorial gallery in Bosnia and Herzegovina - exhibition place aiming to preserve the memory on Srebrenica tragedy and 8372 persons who tragically lost their lives. Through a wide range of multimedia content - images, maps, audio and video materials, the Gallery aims to offer its visitors the documentary and artistic interpretation of the events that took place during July 1995 in Srebrenica.

This small museum does an excellent job of showing man's inhumanity to man during the war in the 1990s. The audio guide is necessary in order to understand the poignant photographs displayed. Be sure to budget enough time to sit through the entire series of videos being shown. The stories of the wives and mothers are heartbreaking.

Museum Of Crimes Against Humanity And Genocide 1992-1995

The Museum of Crimes Against Humanity and Genocide 1992 – 1995 was founded in July 2016 as an initiative to sustain the memory of all the victims of the war that lasted from 1992- 1995. The founders of the museum themselves are victims who survived the war. Together with young people they have made the museum a reality and keep it working. The museum exhibit contains a variety of photos and personal items that hold the stories of the war victims. The museum staff has given their best to transfer those stories into written pieces that proudly stand next to every item. In order to make the visit more authentic and realistic, the museum presents simulations of a mass grave and solitary confinement. Keeping the memory alive is an important factor in avoiding genocides and massacres in the future. History is something we must remember!

First of all - prepare to read... a lot. Every single piece has a backstory and some items, even though they might seem simple can have quite lengthy, heavily heartbreaking ones. You won't come out the same person you entered after getting close to all the stories described in this museum. Make sure to write how you feel in the room full of post it notes from patrons from all around the world.

War Childhood Museum

The War Childhood Museum opened in Sarajevo in January 2017. The Museum‘s collection contains a number of personal belongings, stories, audio and video testimonies, photographs, letters, drawings and other documents offering valuable insight into the unique experience of growing up in wartime. The 2018 Council of Europe Museum Prize – one of the most prestigious awards in the museum industry – has been awarded to the War Childhood Museum under the European Museum of the Year scheme.

As someone who is born in Sarajevo and spent childhood in Sarajevo during the war, I must say that this museum is fascinating and unique, both for people in Sarajevo and tourists. All stories in the museum are unique, some sad some funny, but great describe everyday life of children in war period. And that life wasn't easy. Staff is great and very helpful. The museum is very close to the old city. I recommend for everyone to come and visit it.

Bosnaseum

Bosnaseum has a goal to present whole Bosnian culture and history in one place. With more than 800 square meters of area you can feel Bosnian history as nowhere else.

Reviewed By 628sanelap

The Bosnaseum museum is very interesting, showing the history, culture, tradition of all peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It also shows the war period in Mostar(exhibition of war photographs, a short movie about the destruction of the Old bridge). A very useful time spent visiting Mostar.

Svrzo House

Reviewed By martyncymro - Coimbra, Portugal

I found this visit to a well preserved house extremely interesting. Each room has an information board outside, and each room is well presented. There are also store rooms and courtyard to be seen. It's a bit of a trek uphill to get here, but the War Children Museum is close nearby and the 2 attractions could be combined. Recommended.
