The topic of the paper are the narratives and emotions related with friendships, as important, universal and positive aspects of human lives and relations. In the focus are friendships between individuals who were participants and contemporaries of the war period, and whose lives intertwined because of the war and post–war events in Croatia during 1990s, and have stayed intertwined until today. Based on the narratives about war friendships that evidence close and strong attachments, feelings of respect and confidence, feelings of affection and sadness, and based on the experience in curating the exhibition about war friendships, the author questions: how emotions are narrated ; how narratives help to bond emotions with places, moments and items ; how narrating generates emotions of narrator and of researcher ; what are the challenges in presenting emotions during narrative transfer from oral to written form, or from private to public sphere?
