Sarajevo cultural and museum developments

Overview

Cultural institutions in Sarajevo are undergoing significant developments regarding new openings and infrastructure investments.

Following this, the Federal Minister of Environment and Tourism announced a 160,000 KM investment to upgrade the city’s ‘museum quarter’. This funding includes 100,000 KM for landscaping and electrical works at the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina and 60,000 KM for the restoration of the Historical Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
