Museum Month is a manifestation that has been taking place at the Historical Museum of BiH for the past three years. It is always held during the month of November, the same month that the museum was first founded and opened to the public.

This year’s program is dedicated to cultural-historical heritage, advancing museum practices and enhancing an awareness of the importance of museums in BiH society.
