Museum of Old Herzegovina, Regional history museum in Foča, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Museum of Old Herzegovina occupies a former hotel building and presents exhibitions on the region's history. Its collections include historical documents, artwork, and objects that reflect how people lived and worked in this area.
The museum was established in 1956 after the original hotel on the site closed during World War II. The building was later adapted for museum use to preserve local history and cultural heritage.
The museum displays how people lived in this region through traditional furniture, clothing, and household objects on view. These items reveal the daily customs and domestic practices that shaped life in Herzegovina.
The museum sits in the center of Foča and is easy to reach on foot. It is best to arrange ahead if you want someone to guide you through the exhibitions.
A local surgeon who studied at a prestigious university founded the institution in the 1950s as a personal mission. His goal was to preserve the history and culture of his hometown for future generations.
