History Museum of BiH

The History Museum of Bosnia & Herzegovina endeavors to preserve, conserve, explore and promote cultural and historical heritage of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Between its foundation in 1945 and 1993 the Museum was thematically focused on the history of fighting against fascism in the World War II and nurturing of values of the socialist state. Its name was changed a few times, but it was originally known as the Museum of Revolution of Bosnia & Herzegovina. After it was renamed the History Museum of Bosnia & Herzegovina in 1993, the thematic structure has changed and the Museum began to explore the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina from the middle ages until the present day.


The History Museum of Bosnia & Herzegovina has become a unique cultural institution in Bosnia & Herzegovina and a space for dialogue about the past and different aspects of its remembrance. The Museum develops and offers programs and activities that speak about the past, present and future through museum artifacts, narratives and stories.
