What's Inside the Republika Srpska Museum ?
One of the main things I wanted to see on my trip to Banja Luka, was the Republika Srpska Museum. They had a exhibition on WW2 Ustaše propaganda and one of the worst concentration camps that you never hear about, Jasenovac. It was a camp that killed and tortured Serbian kids, along with lots of Gypsy and Jews. Please look it up and ask yourself why we never hear about it?
Wandering Around Banja Luka- Capital of Republika Srpska
Banja Luka is a beautiful city that has a lot of history, good food, and friendly people. I spent two days there due to some work engagements and to chill. It's a great city to spend a few days in!
Welcome to Banja Luka-Republic of Srpska
Republika Srpska is a region in Bosnia and Herzegovina and is one of the two semi-autonomous entities that make up the country. It covers 49% of the country’s territory and has approximately 1.5 million inhabitants. The Serbs, Christian Orthodox by religion, had lived for centuries in what is known as Bosnia and Herzegovina.Upon the declaration of Bosnian-Herzegovinian independence and establishment of Republika Srpska, Banja Luka became the de facto center of the entity’s politics. It is the administrative capital and the largest city of Republika Srpska…
During the Ottoman rule in Bosnia, Banja Luka was the seat of the Bosnian pashaluk.The 350-year long Turkish rule had demonstrated a reckless disregard for the Banja Luka administrative unit, which did not make a considerable contribution to its urbanization and modernization.In 1929 Banja Luka was designated the capital of one of the nine banovinas (administrative regions) of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia-Vrbaska Banovina. In that period the town experienced its heyday. The first ban-governor of the Vrbas Banovina, Svetislav Tisa Milosavljević (1929-1934), commissioned many buildings in the city during his reign. The most significant are: the Ban’s Court and the Ban’s Government, National Theatre, Hotel Palace, Sokolski Dom, City Park, Ethnographic Museum, schools, hospitals, etc…
BANJA LUKA - Bosnia & Herzegovina Travel Guide | Around The World
Banja Luka (Serbian Cyrillic: Бања Лука), or Banjaluka (Serbian Cyrillic: Бањалука), is the largest city and the de facto capital of the Republika Srpska entity and the second largest city in Bosnia and Herzegovina after the capital Sarajevo. Traditionally, it has been the centre of the Krajina region, located in the northwestern part of the country. It is home of the University of Banja Luka as well as numerous state and entity institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The city lies on the River Vrbas and is well known in the countries of the former Yugoslavia for being full of tree-lined avenues, boulevards, gardens and parks. According to the 2013 census, Banja Luka has 199,191 inhabitants.
The history of inhabitation of the area of Banja Luka dates back to ancient times. There is a substantial evidence of the Roman presence in the region during the first few centuries A.D., including an old fort Kastel (Latin: Castra) in the centre of the city. The area of Banja Luka was entirely in the kingdom of Illyria and then a part of the Roman province of Illyricum, which split into provinces of Pannonia and Dalmatia of which Castra became a part. Ancient Illyrian maps call the settlement in Banja Luka's present day location as Ad Ladios, a settlement located on the river Vrbas.
Banja Luka fell to the Ottomans in 1527. It became the seat of the Sanjak of Bosnia some time prior to 1554, until 1580 when the Bosnia Eyalet was established. Bosnian beylerbeys were seated in Banja Luka until 1639. Ferhad Pasha Sokolović, a relative of Grand Vizier Mehmed-pasha Sokolović, had upon his return to Bosnia in 1574, begun the building of over 200 buildings ranging from artisan and sales shops to wheat warehouses, baths and mosques. Among more important commissions were the Ferhadija and Arnaudija mosques during which construction a plumbing infrastructure was laid that served surrounding residential areas. This stimulated the economic and urban development of Banja Luka, which soon became one of the leading commercial and political centres in Bosnia. It was also sanjak centre in Bosna Eyalet.
In 1688, the city was burned down by the Austrian army, but it quickly recovered. Later periodic intrusions by the Austrian army stimulated military developments in Banja Luka, which made it into a strategic military centre. Orthodox churches and monasteries near Banja Luka were built in the 19th century.
Due to its long history, Banja Luka is rich in culture. The Museum of Republika Srpska inherited the Ethnographic Museum established in 1930, and broadened its setting with collections of archeology, history, art history and nature. The Museum of Modern Art of Republika Srpska, also called MSURS, the Museum of Contemporary Art, displays exhibitions of noticed artists, both domestic and worldwide known, such as Damien Hirst and Grayson Perry . Banja Luka is also the home of the National Theatre and National Library, both dating from the first half of the 20th century, and of numerous other theatres. The headquarters of the Archives of Republika Srpska is situated in the building known as Carska kuća or Imperial House, built around 1880. It has been in continuous public use longer than any other structure in Banja Luka.
One of the most famous cultural sites in Banja Luka is the cultural centre of Banski Dvor (Halls of the Ban), built in the 1930s as the residence for the Bans of the Vrbas Banovina.[citation needed] It is a representative building in the very centre of the city housing the National Assembly along with a concert hall, gallery, state television, and a restaurant. Most of the main cultural and political events nowadays take place in the building. The relatively poorly preserved Kastel Fortress is found in the city centre. This mediaeval castle is one of Banja Luka's main attractions. Located on the left bank of the Vrbas river, it gives a specific charm to the city. During the summer, music concerts take place in the fortress.
The natural beauties of the surrounding area guarantee the city of Banja Luka a good position in tourism. Banja Luka has a number of hotels, one of the best being Hotel Cezar Banja Luka. One of the hotels right on the Vrbas river's bank is the Marriott. The city and surrounding area boast a number of popular tourist attractions. Among the most famous are the pools, thermal springs, and spas in the region. Due to its parks and over 10 000 trees Banja Luka was once nicknamed the Green City. The area is popular among nature lovers, while the city centre is attractive to tourists due to its historical structures and many restaurants. Other attractions of Banja Luka are the Banj Hill and a waterfall of the Vrbas river near Krupa. Rafting on the Vrbas river is currently becoming popular among the local tourists. There is fishing, rock climbing and hiking along the canyon of the Vrbas between Banja Luka and Jajce, and there is plenty of accommodation for visitors.

Damien Hirst, Nova religija, MSURS, Banja Luka
“Umjetnost se bavi životom, a i ne znam čime bi se drugo i mogla baviti... kad ničeg drugog nema” – kaže Damien Hirst koji tokom svoje dugogodišnje karijere kao provocirajućeg i ponekad kontroverznog umjetnika istražuje složene odnose između umjetnosti, života i smrti.
Hirstova izložba „Nova religija“ postavljena je u Muzeju savremene umjetnosti Republike Srpske u Banjoj Luci od 17. marta do 27. maja 2016. godine. Oborila je rekord posjećenosti u istoriji ove institucije.
