The arts intrigue, educate and connect—playing an ambassadorial role as important as that served by traditional diplomacy.”

State-level public broadcaster BHT quoted Ambassador Moon saying he was very pleased he could share the art collection with citizens of BiH while other outlets focused on Moon’s comments on “the wealth of creativity and talent in the arts community in BiH.
