Permanent exhibition of the Memorial Museum of Ivo Andrić

Permanent exhibition of the Memorial Museum of Ivo Andrić was set up in 1988, within the adapted space of two former bedrooms. Andrić's life and work are chronologically displayed in seventeen show-cases, while the story itself is divided into several periods - his birth and education; studies in Zagreb, Vienna, and Krakow; First World War and his imprisonment in Maribor; his first literary publications ("Ex Ponto", "The Unrest", "Lyric"); his diplomatic service between the two World Wars; the period of occupation and completion of his novels "Bridge over the Drina", "Travnik Chronicles", and "The Maiden". The afore mentioned are followed by the stories of his social and political engagements in Yugoslavia, his marriage to Milica Babić, the Nobel Prize in 1961, and his works on manuscripts which were published posthumously. In the open space of the exhibition space Ivo Andrić's bust, created by Sreten Stojanović, his suitcase, and his diplomatic uniform from 1939 are on display.
