Museum Of War And Genocide Victims
About This Museum
People don't come here for an easy afternoon; they come to bear witness. You walk through rooms that feel heavy with memory, confronting the stark reality of a conflict that tore this beautiful region apart. It’s a deeply personal and sobering experience, focusing on the human cost above all else. The museum doesn't just present facts—it makes you feel the weight of them, leaving a profound impression long after you've stepped back into the sunlit streets of Mostar.
Collection Highlights
The exhibits are anchored by harrowing personal testimonies and photographs that put faces to the staggering numbers. One of the most powerful sections details the Siege of Sarajevo, while another is dedicated to the Srebrenica genocide, with victims' personal effects serving as silent, heartbreaking witnesses.
Visitor Information
It's centrally located in Mostar, so it's easy to find, but be prepared for a quiet, reflective atmosphere inside. Give yourself at least an hour to really engage with the stories being told.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a building that feels appropriately unadorned and functional, its straightforward exterior gives no hint of the emotional gravity contained within.
