One of Travnik’s biggest tourist attractions is the birth house of the Nobel Prize-winning author Ivo Andrić that has been now turned into a museum.
The permanent exhibition at the Memorial House of Ivo Andrić presents life and literature of the Nobel Prize-winner and consists of a birth room dedicated to the novel Bosnian Chronicle, photographs from the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony, and a library with an art collection.
Following the assessment that Travnik, thanks to Andrić, entered the literary map of the world, for years now, the public can hear questions about why there is not a street in Ljubljana today or a square bearing his name, and why, along with several manifestations such as Andrić’s Days, the museum today is almost the only trace of the Nobel Prize in that city.
Regional Museum of Travnik and the Birth House of Ivo Andrić, as his dependent, participate every year in literary and cultural programs, which they use to remind the public of the most important dates and events from Andrić’s life and literary career, as well as his evident affiliation to his homeland.
