Phrase structure

I am trying to come up with a correct translation for a museum in my country. However, my native language and English use different phrase structure. So, I would appreciate some help.

Museum of Literature & Performing Arts or Literature & Performing Arts Museum? Or are both correct?

Sarajevo Museum 1878-1918 or Museum Sarajevo 1878-1918 (it is a museum about Sarajevo during 1878-1918)

Thank you for any help

For the first sentence, either wording is correct. For the second sentence, I would word it thus: Museum of Sarajevo (1878-1918)

Museum of Literature & Performing Arts sounds better (i.e. more formal for the title of a museum)

I'd say Museum of Sarajevo (1878-1918) would be best for the second part of your question.
