They came to represent the youth, beauty and warmth of Sarajevo at a time when the city briefly became the centre of the sporting world. Their visit to Planet Sarajevo was particularly meaningful because the museum is not only about famous names and major historical events. It is a museum about people – both the remarkable figures who changed Sarajevo and the ordinary citizens whose lives became part of its legends. Indira and Aida are a beautiful example of how ordinary people can unexpectedly enter the story of a city and remain in its collective memory for generations.

The Sarajevo 1984 Winter Olympics are an important part of the Planet Sarajevo experience. Through immersive storytelling, archival material, interactive exhibits and VR, visitors can explore the Olympic dream and discover the people, ideas and energy that transformed Sarajevo in the years leading up to the Games.

But Sarajevo ’84 is only one chapter. Planet Sarajevo takes visitors deeper into the city’s extraordinary stories of music, film, sport, architecture, industry, innovation and popular culture, revealing a Sarajevo that many visitors never get to know.

Having Indira and Aida return with their families was a reminder that history is not only found in dates, buildings and official records. Sometimes it lives in a photograph, a memory, a familiar face – and in ordinary people who, without ever planning it, became part of a legend.

Visit Planet Sarajevo, the Museum of Sarajevo Stories, and discover the people and stories behind Sarajevo 1984 and one of the most fascinating periods in the city’s history.
