MUSEUM DAYS 2026
From 7 to 9 September 2026, the Public Institution Museum “Battle for the Wounded on the Neretva” Jablanica organized Museum Days, a three-day programme dedicated to history, culture, literature, and museum activities for children.
Held under the slogan “Memory Connects Us,” the event brought together visitors of different generations. Through film, the presentation of a new museum guide for children, and a literary event, Museum Days demonstrated that a museum is not only a place where the past is preserved, but also a space for encounters, learning, dialogue, and the creation of new experiences.
The programme began on 7 September. The first day featured an open-air cinema and a screening of the legendary film Battle of Neretva, one of the best-known cinematic works depicting the events of 1943.
The second day, 8 September, was dedicated to the Museum’s youngest visitors and the presentation of the new Museum Guide for Children - Jablanko. This educational and promotional publication was designed to help children discover the Museum and the history it preserves through age-appropriate content, activities, and exploration.
Museum Days concluded on 9 September with the presentation of Mensura Burridge’s book We, the Children of Sarajevo, opening up space for literature, personal memories, and dialogue about experiences of the past.
Through Museum Days, our aim was to bring the Museum closer to the local community and visitors of all generations, while showing that cultural heritage truly comes to life when we explore, interpret, and pass it on together.
Three days of history, culture, and togetherness once again reminded us of the message at the heart of the entire event: Memory connects us.
