Construction permit issued for the restoration of the Historical Museum of BiH

(Patria) - The Municipality of Novo Sarajevo announced this evening that a construction permit has been issued for the restoration of the Historical Museum of BiH - a national monument of BiH and one of the seven cultural institutions of special significance to the country.

The building of the Historical Museum was declared a national monument by the Commission for the Preservation of National Monuments of BiH in 2012.

During the aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina and the siege of Sarajevo, it suffered significant damage, and in the previous period, partial renovations were carried out with the aim of preserving this valuable cultural asset.

The Municipality of Novo Sarajevo, in cooperation with UNDP, secured the main restoration project, while the Ministry of Culture and Sports of Sarajevo Canton provided funds for the execution of the works.

The project envisages the renovation and restoration of the roof and facade of the Historical Museum of BiH, and the entrance staircase will also be renovated, creating conditions for the long-term protection and functional improvement of the building.

The issuance of the construction permit represents a key step in the reconstruction of this cultural facility and confirms the commitment of the Municipality of Novo Sarajevo and the Ministry of Culture and Sports of Sarajevo Canton to preserve and improve the cultural and historical heritage of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
