About Bosniak Institute

The Bosniak Institute is an institution of culture and scholarship in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. It consists of a museum, gallery, cultural centre, library, and a publishing house. The institute's founder and donor, Adil Zulfikarpašić (waqf), was a businessman, politician, and promotor of cultural and educational life in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

With his wife Tatjana Zulfikarpašić, he collected and preserved cultural heritage and contemporary production about Bosnia and Herzegovina, including documents, photographs, postcards, maps, books, encyclopaedias, journals, and other archival and library materials. The Bosniak Institute was founded in Zurich in 1988.

The entire stock was moved to Sarajevo after the aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina and opened in 2001. The Bosniak Institute includes a library, archive, art collection, galleries, reading rooms, researcher & scholar study rooms, conference rooms, and other amenities.
