The exhibition consists of photographs, videos, eyewitness accounts and documents about the destruction of cultural heritage during armed conflicts in the former Yugoslavia. The exhibition relies on the same narrative, depicting crimes against cultural, historical and religious heritage committed during the wars in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo, investigated, reconstructed and prosecuted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY). The exhibition also presents unprocessed crimes of destruction of cultural heritage, as well as destruction of monuments of the National Liberation War and antifascism in Croatia.

The exhibition “Yugoslavia From the Beginning to the End” is part of a project lasting several years, on which experts from the region of former Yugoslavia worked, consisting of several segments, one of which is “The End of Yugoslavia”. The exhibition was set up in the Museum of Yugoslavia.
In the exhibition, more than 350 items from museum collections were presented in the copies and original, and documentary videos showing all the absurdity of the aggressor destruction of the city, as well as the pain and suffering of its population.
The exhibition in its introductory part presents the reflection of the Homeland War 20 years later in the Croatian everyday-life as well as memories of the participants. In the central part of the exhibition a chronological-thematic presentation of the Homeland War is displayed. The last part of the exhibition represents a kind of homage to all those who participated in the war and gave their lives for the homeland.
