Ars Aevi

The Museum of Contemporary Art Ars Aevi (an anagram of the word "Sarajevo", which in Latin means "art of the epoch") represents a unique project for the establishment of a museum of contemporary art in Sarajevo, which is developing as an expression of the common will and ethical cooperation of prominent international artists, curators, and museums of contemporary art.

Valuable Collection of Contemporary Art

Ars Aevi represents a unique concept of contemporary art in Sarajevo, established during the war years as a symbol of international solidarity and cultural resistance. Through collaboration with renowned artists, curators, and museums from around the world, a valuable collection of contemporary art has been formed.
The Ars Aevi collection includes works by some of the most prominent artists worldwide, and its uniqueness lies in the idea of unity and exchange through art.

  • Hidden layers

    The Ars Aevi logo has many layers of meaning: continuous movement towards progress, the relationship between positive and negative forces in the spiritual and material world, and the hidden word "Sarajevo".

  • Manifesto

    Art can defeat evil and destruction. Culture is the mother of tolerance. Intercultural dialogue enriches. The universal language of art unites. Sarajevo – A Multicultural Capital.

  • Art created as an act of solidarity

    Ars Aevi is one of the few museums in the world whose collection was created during the war – through donations from artists worldwide who wanted to support Sarajevo. Here, art is not only exhibited, but it also represents a symbol of global support and resistance.

  • A Collection of World Names in Sarajevo

    The Ars Aevi collection includes works by some of the world's most significant contemporary artists, including names who have exhibited in major museums and galleries such as MoMA and Tate. This collection makes Sarajevo a unique destination for contemporary art lovers in the region.
