Museum of Modern Art of Republika Srpska

The Museum of Modern Art of Republika Srpska holds a collection of over 1300 artworks by regional artists in various forms. The holdings include paintings, sculptures, graphics, watercolors, drawings, and multimedia pieces.

The museum was founded in 1971 after the 1969 earthquake devastated Banja Luka, when artists donated their works to establish a new gallery. These donations formed the core collection that the institution continues to build on today.

The museum presents works by artists from the region, making local creative voices visible to visitors. You can experience how contemporary artists interpret their surroundings and heritage through different mediums.

The museum offers visitors educational programs and workshops to engage with the collection more deeply. A specialized library with thousands of books and catalogs is available for those wanting to explore the subject further.

The documentation department assembles materials about regional artists and preserves records of every exhibition held since the museum opened. This makes it a valuable resource for understanding the art history of the area.
