A quite impressive museum/ project, it should be visited by everyone. It might change the perspective in the whole horrible debate we have about refugees. The objects/ exhibits, are memories from those who were kids during the war, with their stories. Really touching and interesting. Unbelievable what they've experienced during war. The staff was very friendly and well prepared.

Excellent museum collecting personal belongings and stories of children who grew up in war - mostly from the 1990s Bosnian War but also some from Ukraine (and they also have a lot of different countries which they curate a different selection each year). Really heavy stuff to digest, as a perspective of how the impact of war carries on, especially for a long time in the children who had to go through it.

Rather small but absolutely touching place to visit. You will be touched to the bottom of your heart, exposition changing often in order to give possibility to present new objects collected. Personnel working there is very attentive and giving all introduction with details and devotion. Take your time to visit it. Highly recommended.

Made me tear up reading the stories of the children who grew up during the war.. The exhibitions are very well done and properly captioned to tell each story. I love it that they had little ladders and signs saying "ask an adult to tell you the story" - meaning they welcome kids to come in and view the exhibitions. Regarding logistics, there are lockers to keep your belongings before you enter. Worth a visit if you are coming to Sarajevo!

This museum includes 50 curated objects from those who had a war Childhood, including 44 from Bosnia & Herzegovina and 6 from Ukraine. Each object is accompanied with background or a story from the owner of it. Some of the stories are absolutely heart-wrenching but help you to imagine a childhood innocence that has been slashed by ongoing conflict (through no fault of the child). The staff were really helpful and explained the exhibition before I went in. Student discount is available. I spent around an hour here including watching some of the video-documented memories of a war Childhood.

Really nicely put together. Very illuminating and touching. It was interesting to me because I remember when I was 14/15 years old and seeing the war in Sarajevo on the news. A lot of these memories were from my contemporaries, and it was interesting to learn through their eyes. If you’re only going to do a museum or two in Sarajevo, make it this one and the Tunnel of Hope.

A soul crushing place to visit but a necessary one. Really helpful staff members, good size - spent about an hour - one of the best museums in Sarajevo

(Translated by Google) Be sure to visit, alone, with children, friends ... But definitely! (Original) Obavezno posjetiti, sami, sa djecom, prijateljima... Ali obavezno!

Great supportive staff

(Translated by Google) A unique museum of childhood, which remains a childhood even in times of war. (Original) Унікальний музей дитинства,яке залишається дитинством навіть в умовах війни.

There are many items displayed that belonged to children during the war. Accompanying each item is a short description. It will take about an hour and a half to see and read everything.

This place will leave you breathless and teared up. An absolute must to visit if you are staying in Sarajevo. I purposely haven't added any photos from inside, so you can experience these heartbreaking stories yourself. They also sell a beautiful book with quotes by the children who survived the war. It is a beautiful reminder why peace is so much more desirable, so again: do NOT skip this one on your visit!

Impressive museum! The staff was very kind and actualy bin in the war as a child. Reading all the stories is heartbreaking. Price: 10KM for adults, 8KM for students, children under 6 free

Important historical area with useful information

(Translated by Google) An interesting museum with unique personal stories. Worth visiting (Original) Цікавий музей з унікальними особистими історіями. Варто відвідати

Incredible stories in this museum

It can be difficult to present such horrific events, but the war childhood museum does a good job of presenting the human side of things from the perspective of the child survivors rather than relying on the shock factor of greousome pictures. Staff were very friendly. Definitely worth a visit. Take the time to actually read all the placards though or you will totally miss the point of the way it's presented.

This musemum takes stories of children, how they came through the war time. Every story of the child is presented with one subject violin, tedy bear, a tin of charity organization, a diary,... I couldnt leave the museum without tears. Its very personal museum.

Powerful museum with those who unfortunately experienced war telling their personal stories. Highly recommend.

Touching display of the linkages between everyday objects and the horror of experiencing war as a child. The inclusion of Syrian war victims' items juxtaposed against the Yugoslav war stories reminds us that this pain is not something relegated to the past

The concept behind the museum is a really nice idea. The children stories are tough to read. I recommend buying the book

This museum collects testimonials from people whom were kids or teenagers during the war. Bad and good memories, coping mechanisms and such. Very important to remember how war affected their childhoods.

A hard subject to experience, but this was well done. Artifacts and stories from children impacted by war.

Very moving and definitely worth a visit, especially when you are kid of the late 80s.

A must visit place to understand the meaning of wars from a child perspective!

What a nice museum! Amazing simple idea, some stories made me smile, some cry. It definitely makes an impression.

Very interesting and unique exhibition. You'll need 60-90 mins to explore the museum. Stories of childs from Bosnia and also Ukraine. Before entry to exhibition hall you can get an introduction in English.

I asked Dina to go out, but she said, all worried, that she didn't dare, Because if she died, her mom would kill her. Amra. 1984

This is a really good museum offering a different perspective on war. You don't usually think about the children that grew up during war times but this place gives you a profound insight on their experiences. Some harrowing, some touching stories. Definitely a must visit when you are in Sarajevo.

Stories from war childhood is so touching and sad. But have to read to see the children how affected from the crime against humanity.

Powerful museum that uses everyday objects to tell children's stories from the war. The purpose is not to shock or horrify the visitors, but rather to convey the pain and confusion - as well as the moments of light - of a war childhood. This is done very well, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable.

It was very impactful to read the first hand accounts of growing up during war

Very impressive place. There's a lot of stories to read, and it was quite an intense experience. The exhibition is not only about the wars in Bosnia, but for example also about Ukraine.

If you are a human, a ne heave a heart... you have to visit, and commit to reading all notes. No other summary will do it justice.

A very deep and touching emotional journey, especially if you grew up in a similar vibe countries to Bosnia like myself (Ukraine). I shed tears three times in one hour. Highly recommended.

Such an important place to visit. Extremely moving and informative. Their English translations are perfect, and very easy to read and understand. Would highly recommend visiting.

Very interesting museum. I was very touched by the stories. It is better to go with children who can read but they have a nice area for smaller children where they can draw and read some books (my children enjoyed that area very much)

Everyone needs to see this Museum

Memory

Emotional Place..

(Translated by Google) I recommend everyone to visit this special, completely different museum from the others, and I guarantee those who listen to me that they will not repent and that they will come out of it with the thought "it was definitely worth coming here, as well as paying for the entrance". I say different from other museums because the concept of this museum is different from the ‘standard’ ones we are used to. Every thing on display tells its own story, but what makes it special are not just those special stories, but also the fact that the exhibits in the museum are constantly changing because the space is simply too small for everyone to exhibit at the same time. When I say that the space is too small for all the exhibits to be exhibited, I do not mean that with the expansion of the museum it would become even better, because it is beautiful as it is, neither too big nor too small, and tucked away in the famous Sarajevo neighborhood Logavina. A museum of this type could never even expand to the point where all the stories are told, because there are simply too many such stories. What is important is that all the stories that are exhibited together give one whole, a view of the war during the occupation of Sarajevo, but from the perspective of children who are not aware of the events around them. (Original) Svima preporučujem da posjete ovaj posebni, po svemu drugačiji muzej od ostalih, i garantujem onima koji me poslušaju da se neće pokajati i da će iz njega izaći sa mišlju "definitivno vrijedilo doći ciljano doći ovdje, kao i platiti za ulaz". Kažem po svemu drugačiji od ostalih muzeja zato što je koncept ovog muzeja drugačiji od 'standardnih' na koje smo navikli. Svaka stvar koja je u njemu izložena priča svoju priču, ali ono što ga čini poebnim nisu samo te posebne priče, već i činjenica se eksponati u muzeju konstantno mijenjaju, jer je prostor jednostavno premal da bi se svi izložili u isto vrijeme. Kada kažem da je prostor premal da bi se svi eksponati izložili, time ne podrazumijevam da bi širenjem muzeja on postao još kvalitetniji, zato što je lijep baš ovakakv kakav jeste, ni prevelik, ni premal, a ušuškan u poznatoj sarajevskoj mahali Logavina. Nikada se muzej ovakvog tipa ni ne bi mogao proširiti do te mjere da se sve priče ispričaju, jer je takvih priča jednostavno previše. Ono što je bitno je da sve priče koje su izložene zajedno daju jednu cjelinu, pogled na rat za vrijeme okupacije Sarajeva, ali iz perspektive djece koja nisu svejsna zbivanja oko sebe.

(Translated by Google) Great place to visit (Original) Mjesto super za posjetit

(Translated by Google) Be sure to leave. A very important story for all people, and especially for the children of Sarajevo. To never be forgotten and never to be repeated to anyone !!! (Original) Obavezno otići. Vrlo bitna priča za sve ljude, a pogotovo za djecu Sarajeva. Da se nikad ne zaboravi i nikad nikome ne ponovi!!!

Super

What a inspiring museum!! I was witness of this war when I was in high school and I was so sad to hear what happened in Bosnia ,especially to kids.Now I saw what was the kids feeling that time.Was so sad and funny stories .Thats why I put them all on google so you can read. Two ladies was awesome who was at the reception .They speak very well english that makes things easy. I believe this place is one of the hidden place that needs to be visited. 8 euros each person,kids under 18 is free! Takes 30 to 40 minutes! Have fun!

If I can recommend one museum in Sarajevo this would be it. By showing items of children living in war conditions, and explaining what they mean to them, visitors will be moved by the stories. For me I could relate these stories to my own life and got a better appreciation for it.

Excellent museum with objects which speak for themselves. Great idea.

Amazing place. Anyone should visit.

A collection of items alongside short stories or memoirs that people have contributed to the museum related to the war. Some are light hearted while others are very heavy and heart breaking. Small, clean and well designed museum that will give you insight into the lives of children caught in the crossfires of destruction and give you something to think about. Cash only ~45 minutes

Poignant museum, with 50 different items from children who experienced war (most from Bosnia, but not all). Each item is accompanied with a short story from the donator. Some of the items are positive memories, while others are a reminder of a young friend or sibling lost. Well worth a trip.

In this museum was very sad and deep atmosphere. And the exposition and their stories was very interesting. I can recoment this museum.

(Translated by Google) Simply wonderful. If you are and Sarajevo do not miss it (Original) Semplicemente stupendo. Se siete e Sarajevo non perdetevelo

(Translated by Google) The name itself says it all war childhood .. (Original) Sam naziv sve govori ratno djetinjstvo ..

(Translated by Google) sightseeing things we all had in houses in the war ??? in a way it seems to me like a trade in the misfortune of my own people (Original) razgledanje stvari koje smo svi imali u kućama u ratu ??? na neki način mi izgleda kao trgovina nesrećom vlastitog naroda

(Translated by Google) Well done (Original) Svaka čast

(Translated by Google) An excellent museum with very difficult stories from the war, the only complaint is that too few exhibits are on display. (Original) Odlican muzej sa veoma teškim pričama iz rata jedina zamjerka je što je premalo eksponata izloženo.

Fantastic little museum

(Translated by Google) Very good portrait of the war from the point of view of children. Worked and with an approach that avoids ethnic confrontation and focuses solely on the suffering of the population through their personal experiences. (Original) Molt bon retrat de la guerra des del punt de vista dels infants. Treballat i amb un plantejament que fuig de la comfontració ètnica i se centra únicament en el patiment de la població a través de les seves vivències personals.

(Translated by Google) A museum that should be visited and reminded everyone that children in war as well as in peace are the healthiest tissue of a society. All praise for the idea and realization. A collection that still needs to be expanded and work on documenting many, many memories of us who were little people in the 90s. (Original) Muzej koji se treba posjetiti i podsjetiti sve kako su djeca u ratu kao i u miru najzdravije tkivo jednog drustva. Sve pohvale za ideju i realizaciju. Kolekcija koju treba jos siriti i raditi na dokumentovanju jos mnogo, mnogo sjecanja nas koji smo 90tih bili mali ljudi.

Thought provoking and moving. Everyone must visit this museum.

(Translated by Google) A small but dignified space that keeps all the sadness and torment of growing up in war. The curators are very discreet and detailed in their presentations. (Original) Mali ali dostojanstveno uređen prostor koji čuva svu tugu i muku odrastanja u ratu. Kustosice su vrlo diskretne i detaljne u svojim izlaganjima.

(Translated by Google) It is a unique museum that makes both sad and hopeful. (Original) Hem hüzünlendiren hem umutlandıran eşsiz bir müze.
