STORYLINE:
A project to build a new museum dedicated to the people of Sarajevo's ingenuity during wartime has been unveiled in the Bosnian capital.
Now a pile of rubble on Marshall Tito street, the new "Museum of the Siege of Sarajevo" will house 1400 video testimonials of besieged Sarajevans in what is set to be the biggest project of collective memory from the Bosnian conflict that claimed more then 11,000 lives.
It is scheduled to open next year.
The project was unveiled in Sarajevo late on Thursday, as the city marks the 20th anniversary of the beginning of Bosnian war.
''I think that Sarajevo's bank of knowledge is proving that we have extra-ordinary knowledge of how to survive in the impossible conditions, how to become a free person in the middle of hell," said Suada Kapic, who has created the video testimonials which will go on show at the new museum.
It is not the city's only memorial to citizen ingenuity.
People can also visit the Sarajevo tunnel, which was constructed by the besieged Sarajevans in order to link their cut-off city to the United Nations-controlled area at Sarajevo airport.
As a symbol of survival, citizens of Sarajevo built a memorial to cans of meat that were delivered to them by World Food Programme during the war.
