It is located in the center of Trebinje, just a few hundred meters from the bus station, so you can reach it on foot.

History of the Museum of Herzegovina
The idea for founding a museum in Trebinje came from Jovan Dučić, a great Serbian poet of the last century. He bought decorative sculptures in Italy for that purpose, but, unfortunately, he did not wait for the realization of his idea. The Museum of Herzegovina was founded 9 years after his death in 1952. Since 1988, this museum is located in the building of the former barracks, in the old part of Trebinje.

What you can see here
In the Museum of Herzegovina, you can see Ducic's collection with valuable art exhibits, including his decorations, ambassador's uniform and his manuscripts. Also, there is a permanent archeological exhibition with valuable exhibits from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages. In addition to the permanent exhibits, this museum also has legacies, such as the Legacy of the writer and sculptor Radovan Ždral, which contains 122 sculptures made of semi-precious stones. In addition, the premises of the Museum of Herzegovina also host occasional exhibitions, poetry recitals, book promotions, as well as music concerts, so that there will be some interesting things for each visitor.
