SARAJEVO, November 10 (FENA) - Routledge, a British multinational publisher, included the War Childhood Museum in Sarajevo among the fifty most influential museums in the past 40 years in its book entitled ‘Revisiting Museums of Influence: Four Decades of Innovation and Public Quality in European Museums’.
The book was authored by Mark O’Neil, Jette Sandahl i Marlen Moliou, leading experts in museology and members of the European Museum of the Year Jury.
“Revisiting Museums of Influence presents 50 portraits of a range of European museums that have made striking innovations in public quality over the past 40 years. In so doing, the book demonstrates that excellence can be found in museums no matter their subject matter, scale, or source of funding,” the description of the book says.
“Since it was established, the War Childhood Museum has been invited to leading museum conferences around the world, we have held lectures and workshops for museum professionals in more than 10 countries. It took us a while to realize that the Wr Childhood Museum, along with some other museums, is leading and promoting some of the new trends in the museum industry,” said the director of the museum, Jasminko Halilović.
“I am grateful to the editors of this monograph for rating our work as important for the development of the European museum scene and for ranking us among some of the most excellent museums in the world. We visited and admired some of these museums, but never even dreamed that one day the museum we were building will be among them by the choice of the world's leading authorities in this field,” he said.
In addition to the War Childhood Museum, the monograph presents some of the most important European museums such as the Guggenheim Museum in Spain, the Rijksmuseum and the National Maritime Museum in the Netherlands, the Liverpool City Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in the United Kingdom, the Museum of Innocence in Istanbul and others.
