War Childhood Museum
Terhal
An award-winning European museum documenting the experiences of children who lived through the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 1990s, through personal belongings and testimonies recorded in their own voices rather than an outside narrator; a documented, neutral, non-politicized human experience and one of the city's most affecting museums.
