War Tunnel (Tunnel of Hope) Museum. Dug in 1993 by Sarajevo citizens working in 8-hour shifts, the tunnel linked the besieged city to the free zone (Bosnian-held territory) beyond the neutral area of the airport. The tunnel was 4.9 feet high and 3.2 feet wide. It was dug in an L-shape to prevent the Serb forces from collapsing it with shells. From 1993 to 1995 a mineshaft-like railway, drainage pumps, and crossing points were added.

Through it food (an estimated 20 million tons of it), humanitarian aid, and weapons made their way into the city. It was also used to get citizens out of Sarajevo (including former Bosnian president Alija Izetbegović in his wheelchair). Miraculously, although the Serbs recognized that there must have been a tunnel somewhere, they never learned the exact location.

Today only about 65 feet of the original 3,150-ft length is accessible. The museum has wartime memorabilia and video footage of both the siege and the tunnel’s construction and operation.
