UMJETNIČKA ZBIRKA
THE ART COLLECTION

Summary/Abstract: The art collection dates from 1949, and has been formed from gifts from city, republic and national bodies and individuals, exchange with relevant institutions in the City, and purchase. A good many of the valuable exhibits acquired by the Museum over the past six decades belong to the art collection. As well as consisting of a relatively large number of works, the art collection also includes works spanning almost five decades, from the oldest icon, dating from the 16th century, to modern works of art. It is divided into a number of thematic groups: icons, portraits of Lord Mayors and citizens of Sarajevo, self-portraits by Sarajevo’s artists, landscapes and panoramas of Sarajevo, and a modern art collection (paintings, sculpture, graphics and drawings).
