What is an important part of the
cultural heritage of Bosnia and Herzegovina for you personally? We invite
you to bring your contribution to the Collecting Office!
What is the need for cultural heritage preservation? Many municipalities
and countries of the world collect and preserve their cultural heritage,
primarily to make cultural developments in a particular area more understandable
for future generations, and to preserve what our ancestors considered
to be important.
But, what is to be done when cultural institutions of a city, region,
or country are no longer able to systematically gather and protect cultural
heritage?

Citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the citizens of the world
who are currently visiting Sarajevo, are invited to participate in the
creation of the Future Heritage Collection. We need the active participation
of citizens who are willing to become collectors of their own cultural
heritage and to bring us their contributions for the Future Heritage Collection,
a collection without political or national filter.
These items will be collected, displayed, photographed, and catalogued
at JAVA Gallery and then returned to their owners.
