Gallery 11/07/95
About This Museum
In a city still marked by the scars of the 1990s siege, Gallery 11/07/95 stands as a profound and necessary space of remembrance. It confronts you with the Srebrenica genocide not through dry statistics, but through a visceral, multimedia narrative that blends art with unflinching documentary evidence. You walk from rooms filled with haunting large-scale photographs of the missing into spaces where video testimonies from survivors echo off the walls. The entire experience is meticulously curated to ensure the memory of Europe's worst atrocity since World War II is not just seen, but deeply felt.
Collection Highlights
The central exhibit is a wall covered with over 8,000 small black-and-white passport photos of the identified victims, a silent and overwhelming sea of faces. Another powerful installation, 'Room of Shoes', displays recovered footwear from the mass graves—tattered sneakers and worn-out dress shoes that speak volumes about the lives interrupted.
Visitor Information
It's centrally located on Fra Grge Martića square, easy to find but prepare for an emotionally heavy visit; many people need a quiet moment afterward. They're open most days, but it's wise to check their current hours online before you go.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a stark, modern building with clean lines, its unadorned facade gives little hint of the powerful journey inside, creating a deliberate contrast between the ordinary city outside and the harrowing history contained within.
