The Woodcarving Museum in Konjic is a unique cultural institution dedicated to the centuries-old tradition of Konjic woodcarving, which was inscribed on the UNESCO List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in December 2017. Opened in June 2019, it was created in cooperation between the brand Zanat – the heir to the famous Nikšić family – and the Normal Architecture studio from Sarajevo, with support from the EU Office in BiH.
The museum offers insight into the life and work of Konjic woodcarvers, the tools and techniques they used, and the journey of the craft through centuries and wars. Special emphasis is placed on two families – Nikšić and Mulić – who made Konjic woodcarving world-renowned and passed it down from generation to generation since the late 19th century. In 2022, the museum was awarded the Živa Award for the best Slavic museum, as well as the Luigi Micheletti Award of the European Museum Academy for the best museum in Europe.
