AVNOJ Museum, Jajce

Muzej AVNOJ-a

The venue of the Second Session of AVNOJ (Anti-Fascist Council for the National Liberation of Yugoslavia) in 1943, regarded as the birthplace of socialist Yugoslavia.

On November 29, 1943, the Anti-Fascist Council for the National Liberation of Yugoslavia (AVNOJ) held its Second Session in this former Sokol gymnastics hall. The session decided to establish a federal Yugoslavia and granted Marshal Tito the title of Marshal. The museum preserves the original assembly hall and displays flags, photographs, and a list of delegates, along with a wax figure of Tito. It is a pilgrimage site for visitors from the former Yugoslav republics. The museum is small, admission costs a few marks, and it is located on the riverbank below the old town.
