Museum of Literature and Performing Arts, Sarajevo

Established in 1961, the museum is the brainchild of Razija Handžić, who had the idea since 1955, when he worked as a curator for the Museum of Sarajevo. The Museum of Literature and Performing Arts was at first known as the Museum of Literature, and 16 years later was officially established as the Museum of Literature and Performing Arts of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The museum is housed in an old building that once belonged to the Despić family. Among the items you may find there are books, magazines, photos, manuscripts, paintings, portraits, and many more.
