Permanent exhibition touched my heart. Would recommend for visit.
Very good museum containing tales from children during the war.
The museum has over 4000 different items, each with its own experience told from a child. Very moving and one of the most touching museums I have ever been to. If you are in Sarajevo you must visit this museum. Entrance fee was 10 Km when we were there on April 30th, 2018.
Children in a war. This is a hard topic to understand but this museum help you to do
Carefully curated, understated and quietly tragic. Friendly staff introduce you to a small, well considered museum showcasing a rotating collection of stories from people who were children during war and accompanying artefacts. Short, pithy, poignant and memorable; thoroughly recommended.
A collection of items alongside short stories or memoirs that people have contributed to the museum related to the war. Some are light hearted while others are very heavy and heart breaking. Small, clean and well designed museum that will give you insight into the lives of children caught in the crossfires of destruction and give you something to think about. Cash only ~45 minutes
A must visit. It is a great place to see, and really worth it. it tells the war stories from children perspective. Wish criminals visit this place to see how many generations they destroyed.
Really amazing experience, would definitely recommend this museum if you're visiting Sarajevo, the stories are very moving and also the audio guides are really a nice touch and adds a lot to the experience, the museum is well equipped and the staff were very helpful.
In general I am very picky when it comes to liking museums, but this one is totally worth visiting.
Different concept, you see the war from another perspective.
Great, thank you!
A must.
Go with time. Otherwise you will only get into the right mood at the beggining. After a while, a lot of pain and suffering feel redundant and you loose focus and depth on the stories, which is a pitty.
This museum should be visited by everyone parent and everyone child. It might change the perspective in the whole horrible debate we have about refugees in Europe. A must see, if you want to understand my generation in Bosnia.
Very interesting perspective of life in the Sarajevo seige. Extremely sad but thought provoking. Enthusiastic staff who explain the museum and its origins
Loved it. Must go to in Sarajevo. Very powerful stories and memories.
This museum is brand-new, and I strongly recommend that every visitor to Sarajevo come to see it. It portrays the reality of war through the experiences of the children who survived it. Some of the stories are uplifting, most are heartbreaking. This museum offers something very unique and almost did not get built, so it is very much worth the trip to visit.
A powerful museum for adults and children, and also the rare war museum that is appropriate for children - with judicious labelling of exhibits with smiley faces for the ones that are more appropriate for kids.
Highly recommend a visit.
The concept is simple: a collection of objects with short childhood memories of their owners during war in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Visiting it could be difficult holding back some tears, there are very harsh stories but at the same time you are surprised by fantasy, stubbornness and hope that especially in children resist even during a war.
It's not just another war museum in Sarajevo, I think the idea behind the museum is revolutionary because it has potential also for exploring the theme also beyond Bosnian war.
It was a really emotional and shocking experience to have a chance to see the childhood stories and objects of the people who experienced the war as a child. You can see belongings and anecdotes about them. You can also watch interviews with some of the people who was a child during the war. Great exhibition and work!
Stunning. One of the best museums I've ever been to. Sacred objects beautifully, thoughtfully presented. Compelling stories. Go and support this important endeavor. Buy the book, donate - however you can.
Full of emotions!
Captivating and breathtaking experience!
Impressive and emotional exhibition!!
A delicate journey into the resilience and ingenuity of children. A poignant reminder of the scourge of war. Visiting this one-of-a-kind museum was a unique experience, a powerful insight into the human condition. If you are not afraid of being overwhelmed with emotions, don't miss it when you are in Sarajevo.
Something new in the city! Must go there if you are in Sarajevo!
