Permanent exhibitions examine the life and history of
The oldest cultural institution in BiH, the museum has its fair share of dioramas and insects in cases but these seem to add to its charm. And, temporary exhibitions such as the one on hand-made Bosnian women’s shirts that was showing at the time of writing demonstrate that the museum is also able to mount contemporary, atmospheric and well thought out exhibitions that would not be out of place in any of the world’s leading institutions.
When you add in treasures such as some beautiful Roman mosaics and the world famous 14th century Sarajevo Haggadah you have a museum well worth a visit and where your small entry fee (5 KM) will help to keep it operating.
If the stuffed bears and skewered bugs start to get to you, escape out into the Botanical Gardens where the hundreds of trees and other plants from around the globe provide a living, breathing lung in the centre of the complex.
Admission: 5 KM
