VOICED : Bosnian citizens at bedside of their national museum

The museum closed three years ago due to a lack of funding, yet 50 employees continue to work without pay or social security to maintain the collections. Despite harsh conditions, they are dedicated to preserving the museum's cultural artifacts, including the Sarajevo Haggadah. In August, citizens, artists, and intellectuals occupied the museum to raise awareness and pressure politicians to resolve the funding crisis.

The Culture Minister promises a solution by 2016, but cultural institutions nationwide face similar challenges.
