NEMO’s Working Group LEM – The Learning Museum in Sarajevo

From Wednesday to Friday, Aida Vežić, Regional Museum Coordinator of the Foundation Cultural Heritage without Borders (CHwB) Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Secretary General of the Balkan Museum Network (BMN), organised a fascinating and intensive programme for the participants who not only learned about the Bosnian museum and cultural landscape, but a lot about post-war problems still affecting everyday life of all people and the work of museum professionals. Besides a visit to and talk with the directors of the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Historical Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina, many other places were visited during a city walk: the Jewish Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina (part of the Museum of Sarajevo), Museum of the Old Orthodox Church in Sarajevo, the Svrzo’s House (part of the Museum of Sarajevo), as example of the lifestyle of an urban Muslim family in the late 18th and 19th century and the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque.
