The Muzej ratnog djetinstva ( English War Childhood Museum ; "Museum of War Childhood ") is a museum that was opened in the Bosnian capital Sarajevo in 2017 and uses objects and videos to report on the experiences of children who grew up during the Bosnian war . The museum collection includes all of the children's tangible memories from the war. These are everyday things like letters, diaries, photos, clothes and toys. Among the exhibited objects, visitors can read the relevant memories or listen to statements from interviews.

Jasminko Halilović, the later founder of the museum, started collecting objects from young people from the war in 2010. Even a “ war child ”, activist and entrepreneur, he used an online platform on which he collected short stories from young adults. He made a collection of 1,000 statements and understood that many of these young people still have items from their war childhood. So he started creating a museum collection consisting of 3,000 items and 60 oral statements. The objects were used in the first plan for a book that was published in 2013 and translated into German and Japanese. This then served as the basis for the later Museum of War Childhood.

Part of the collection was temporarily exhibited in the History Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2016 . Later exhibitions followed in Zenica and Visoko . The museum opened on January 28, 2017.

The Bosnian tennis player Damir Džumhur , who was born during the Bosnian war, since September 2016, the Ambassador of the museum.
