This document discusses the challenges of museums in representing collective memories of recent conflicts through their collections and exhibitions. It addresses how museums in post-conflict societies struggle with their status, funding, and role as defined by the state. Examples are provided of how some museums in Bosnia and Herzegovina represent the Second World War, the 1992-1995 war, and the Srebrenica genocide through artwork, artifacts, and memorial designs that aim to critically engage with the past within the limitations of their context.
