A museum founded in 2017 from a book project of the same name: stories of children who lived through the 1992–95 siege of Sarajevo, told through toys, notes, clothing and photographs. Each object carries a short owner's story; the display is quiet and precise rather than overwhelming. The project later grew to include children from other conflicts. Small, but one of the city's most powerful museums.
