The most important of these is the National Gallery of BiH, which houses a collection of more than 6,000 valuable works of art. During the past 55 years of its existence, it has hosted over 1,000 exhibitions.

One city gallery, Collegium Artisticum, holds more than 20 different exhibitions every year, as well as many promotions, presentations and cultural events.

Another important Sarajevo gallery is Gallery 11/07/95, which has a permanent exhibit that tells the story of the tragedy in Srebrenica, when 8,372 people were killed during the genocide.
