Museum of War and Genocide Victims 1992-1995
Muzej žrtava rata i genocida
A small memorial museum in the old town that uses photographs, personal belongings and survivor testimony to tell the story of the Bosnian War and massacres such as Srebrenica.
The museum is located near Coppersmiths' Street. It uses photographs, personal belongings, instruments of torture and video testimonies to record civilian experiences during the Bosnian War of 1992 to 1995, including the siege of Mostar, concentration camps and the Srebrenica massacre. The content is heavy and direct, with some graphic images, so children and sensitive visitors should consider carefully before going in. Entry costs about 10 to 15 convertible marks, and a visit takes about 45 minutes. It helps explain the background to the destruction of the Old Bridge and the division of the city into east and west.
