…the museum building itself is part of the exhibition…
Established in 1945 as the Museum of the Revolution of Bosnia and Herzegovina and later renamed the Historical Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1993, this museum offers a captivating journey through the various facets of Bosnian and Herzegovinian history.
A Walk Through Time
Dive into the pages of history as you explore the museum’s rich collections, often seen through the eyes of eyewitnesses and ordinary people who lived through these times.
The centerpiece of the museum is the “Besieged Sarajevo” exhibition, a compelling narrative of the lives of Sarajevo’s citizens during the 1992-1995 siege.
It’s a testament to the resilience, resourcefulness, and creativity of Sarajevans during the trying times of the siege.
Witnessing War and Rebirth
Complementing this exhibition is the powerful photography display “15 Years” by Jim Marshall, capturing the ravages of war and the post-war rebirth of Sarajevo.
These poignant images provide a visual narrative of Sarajevo’s journey through the conflict and into the hopeful era of rebuilding.
Unlocking the Past
The “Open Depot” is an exciting feature where historical artifacts from the World War II and socialist eras are presented in their authentic settings. Here, history comes alive, offering a unique glimpse into the past.
