(Translated by Google) WE WERE NOT EXCEPTLY EXPECTED TO HAVE ANY SUCCESSFUL EXHIBITION. HEATING WAS NO HEATING, BUT WE WERE ALWAYS SHAKING AT THE EXHIBITION AT THE EXHIBITION OF WAR WAR. For us, this museum has illustrated the best that could have been in a circular, stolen city for three years, a lifetime of survival. STREAKING, SORRY, MUST BE SEEN! (Original) KÍVÜLRŐL NEM SZÁMÍTOTTUNK RÁ, HOGY BELÜL MILYEN MEGRENDÍTŐ, SZOMORÚ KIÁLLÍTÁS FOGAD. FŰTÉS SEM VOLT, DE A KIÁLLÍTÁS ALATT SZINTE VÉGIG BORZONGTUNK A HÁBORÚS EMLÉKEK MEGTEKINTÉSE KÖZBEN.

There are currently three aspects to this museum. The first us an exhibition of comparative photographs of Sarajevo taken in 1996 and then in 2011, same locations used in each case. A surprise for me was the exhibition dealing with the invasion and occupation of Poland during the 2nd World War. I think this must be a temporary exhibition and noticed it was sponsored by the Polish embassy. Upstairs you have a display that takes you through the process leading upto the Dayton Accord and then artifacts from the Bosnian War. Entry price is 7KM, but I would favour going to the "Crimes against Humanity" museum if your interested in the impact of the Bosnian war on the population. The museum building itself is austere, and looks like a product of communist architecture.

This place is so tiny and poorly managed as you can see from other reviews, total tourist trap, finished within 15 minutes, high recommend you not to come, there are just two rooms with minimal description. By the way, their famous "Siege of Sarajevo"exhibition is closed (with no information about when or if they will ever reopen), even more reasons not to come, given their opening hours are unclear as well.

The museum houses a wonderful collection of the Siege of Sarajevo. It's well explain and moving. However, the museum's management most be stealing the money they are making because there was no heating in the museum at all and in fact they had the front doors open, as you can in the picture. The temperature outside was -6 C. Both my husband and I were freezing for the hour we were there! I could see my breath through my mask inside! We are from Chicago and we are not afraid of cold weather, but this is absolutely ridiculous! Not only is it ridiculous that they didn't have the heat on in the building, but the fact that they had the doors wide open in -6 C weather is insulting to anyone visiting the museum. I hope that they start having some respect to the people paying to see their museum and turn on the heat and close the doors! If it's cold outside, don't bother coming to this museum!

I was not sure whether we have explored everything in this museum. It felt like there should be more. I left the musem with such deep sorrow feeling, as it gave you the taste of ominous situation during the seige in 1992-199 The ticket is 7 KM for adult and 2 KM for kid.

The "Museum of the Revolution" (later renamed the "History Museum of BiH" in 1993) in Sarajevo was unveiled in 1963 and designed as a showpiece architectural testament to Yugoslav creativity and design. This impressive building, with its floating box-like mass, was the work of an architect team made up of Boris Magaš, Edo Šmidihen and Radovan Horvat. The interior of this museum was then subsequently populated with a vast array of art installations crafted by Yugoslav artists that could match the scope of this dazzling modernist complex. Among the most impressive of these artworks is a multi-level memorial mosaic mural titled "Bosna" by famous Serbian artist Mladen Srbinović. After completing a massive mosaic at the SIV in Belgrade just a few years earlier in 1959, Srbinović went on to create this even more fantastic mosaic work at Sarajevo's new Museum of the Revolution in 1966. Located along the walls of the museum's main stairwell, the mosaic spans several levels and operates as a memorial to the history of Bosnia & Herzegovina. The work is highly abstract, composed primarily of dozens of stylized circular faces (all diverse and unique). Among them are flowers to denote times of peace and skulls to mark eras of war and death. Around the faces are also various weapons, as well as laborer's tools, both meant to symbolize the rising up of the working class. Meanwhile, sources describe the sharp red line that runs through the work as a representation of the "force that helps bring eternal renewal and birth from nothingness... symbolizes recovery, blossoming, desire, and ability."

Unique exhibition with no government funding.

The building looks decaying and the museum is smaller than expected (three floors, each not being very large). However, it still contains some interesting stuff and can be worth checking out. Some of the displays did not have English translations, and the whole place seemed deserted (I was pretty much the only one inside during my time there). It's a shame, you can still learn a decent amount about Bosnia's recent history here.

It was very cold. There is no heat. They have few exhibition from last war in Bosnia and WW2 in former Yugoslavia, also about famous women warriors from WW2 in former Yugoslavia

Very interesting, you can learn how the peopke lifed in Sarajevo during the war in the middle of the 90's. They have picture from places and buildings along the city during the war and in 2010 someone took pictures from the same spots so you can see the differences. The price is very cheap 7km which is 3,5€. If you ask me you shoumd visit the museum.

(Translated by Google) An extraordinary museum space and an exceptional exhibition by our painter Safet Rabbit, "Embrace." The opportunity to be a part of this great cultural event should not be missed. (Original) Izuzetan muzejski prostor i izuzetna izlozba naseg slikarskog velikana Safeta Zeca "Zagrljaj". Ne bi trebalo propustiti priliku biti dio tog velikog kulturnog dogadaja.

This is a total scum museum. Ticket cost 7KM(Aug/2022) but it doesn't worth it at all. Typical tourist trap Fee should be free or maximum 1KM for this quality Inside museum is like some art university where it's very messy, rough. And despite its museum name, an exhibition only focuses on Sarajevo siege. Hardly mentions other national events or history of this country. Better to go to Cepavi place and spend money there

Good museum, interesting displays, but how is possible that only cash is accepted? Please make sure people can pay with cards. Because of this I couldn't buy souvenirs in the museum and support you with my money.

(Translated by Google) The Bosnian History Museum is small and the building needs a thorough reconstruction. However, the museum to be visited is, in my opinion. There are currently four exhibitions in the museum. Next to the museum is the Tito's Bar, a wonderful place to see and have many memories of Titus (Original) Bosniako Historia Museoa txikia da eta eraikinak berreraikuntza sakona behar du. Hala ere, bisitatu behar den museoa, nire ustez. Gaur egun lau erakusketa daude museoan. Museoaren ondoan Tito taberna dago, zerbait hartu eta Titori buruzko oroitzapen ugari ikusteko leku zoragarria

I'm a museums lover, but there wasn't much to see here. It's next to the National Museum, so I'd rather advise you to go there.

Like much else in Sarajevo the museum is well worth a visit but it needs investment. However there is much to reward the visitor especially the exhibitions on former Yugoslavia which are of high quality and are full of interesting details. The museum is complemented by a good shop selling a variety of quality items and the Tito cafe which is full of authentic memorabilia and is a shaded haven in the punishing summer heat.

I'm sorry to say that this museum is not deserving of its name and its old reputation. There's no introduction to the exhibitions and therefore little is to be learned about the history and historical context of the art pieces and artifacts. Many pieces show the antifascist and Tito-support under the time, which is interesting but could have much more value if set in a context. Also!!! Not much translated to English. So I wouldn't recommend it to tourists who don't know the language. The new exhibitions that have replaced the old (supposedly better) seems created by art students, which I would appreciate in a more relaxed context, but not at an historical museum.

Everything but decent. In the museum there was colder than outside in winter time. No heating, 30 years old exhibition. By the way it was worth to see it. It is an eternal memory forever for sure.

Unfortunately, I am joining the chorus of negative reviews. I really wanted to learn about the Bosnian war and the siege of Sarajevo that seems to be so prevalent in the collective memory of locals, but the museum provided no information about it. There’s an exhibit about a play during the war (downstairs, it looks a bit dingy and smells a bit like piss) and an exhibit about refugees, but it is minimal and doesn’t explain even how these situations came to be. There’s also an exhibit about surveillance of journalists in Bosnia but once again it explains very little about who and what is trying to instill fear. I asked the ticketer where I could find information about the Bosnian war and to his credit, he let me borrow a book from the gift shop to read in the museum so that I could find out more. I basically read about the siege of Sarajevo and the NATO operation that ended the war in an hour, and I wonder why they couldn’t make this into an exhibit. Still have many questions, but the museum answers none of them, unfortunately.

Museum is temporarily closed and the guy working there is very rude. Go somewhere else.

Entry price (7KM) is definitely too much for the content inside. Took about 20 minutes to check everything. Also the name is a bit misleading since the biggest room was dedicated to coral reefs in a "History museum"

(Translated by Google) Great place with creative people (Original) Sjajno mjesto sa kreativnim ljudima

Good place to understand the daily life of the inhabitants during the siege, thanks to the gifts of the people living that period.

Even though the museum could include more exhibitions, I had a great experience.

The building is awesome but in a dire state of conservation, more due to disdain than budget, which is a pity. Good to get a feel for the Bosnian war, but beware of the policeman who will follow you to the exhibition hall to ask for your passport details. Feels like targeting tourists who panic for a bribe, or at least I got this impression from both the situation and the repeated apologies from reception staff.

Great Zec paintings up right now. Raw and immersive museum about life during and after the war. Moving.

The museum was okay, but I feel they could have done a better job. I feel that the museum is generally aimed at people who grew up in the Balkan area and already know a lot about the conflicts in the area. I personally didn’t know a lot about what happened here, as I was born after these things took place and my history lessons in High school didn’t cover it (a shame tbh). The museum assumes prior knowledge about the war and doesn’t give a general overview and instead dives into fairly specific things like the Presidency, Sniper’s alley and Refugees. If the museum would start off with a more general overview, it would definitely be a much better experience for foreigners that lack a bit of background.

We came specifically to this museum to see the Haggadah, but we could not. Supposedly, it can only be seen between 12 to 1pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. But the women at the ticket office never mentioned it when we bought the tickets. The screens outside the Haggadah room do not work either. Again, we asked the same woman to help us but she shrugged and ignored us. So we left Sarajevo missing such an unique piece and with a bitter taste regarding the management of this from the Museum staff.

The museum is very small, not maintained or taken care of. No staff around to explain or help out. Exhibited objects are just thrown around and not organized or preserved.

Really nice place to visit. But please note that the war collection exhibition is still in progress of being fully finished. At the ground floor there is a refugee room and selection of photos showing the war damage to the City. Also at the end of the ground floor corridor there is a permanent exibit in memory of the famous Sarajevo Sniper Alley, while on the first floor there is changeable exibit. This is upcoming museum, but unfortunately due to the lack of funding it needs more attention especially from the outside, but the staff are doing their best and it's really worth the visit if you wish to know more about the War in Bosnia and Sarajevo Siege.

Good, but could be a lot better. An interesting section on the Presidency in the 1990s, but the rest of the museum was a bit confused and lacking structure. I was also hoping for a broader history of the country over the last 50 years

The museum is great and also has a lot of exhibits. I was there in January and it was really cold. Tickets cost 7 KM.

Very run down and neglected. Parts of the museum are unsafe. There is potential to become a good tourist attraction however a lot of work would need to be done first.

Collection & exhibitions, very interesting. The building, mosaics & stained glass is magnificent. Funding is needed for urgent refurbishment. Great statue of Marshall Tito in the courtyard. Helpful man working there (despite language barrier he will assist you)

I randomly thought about this Museum at 1 am, one and a half years after visiting. I don't think this has ever happend to me with any other museum. So I dare say it's one of the best Museums in the world. Very interesting, moving and diverse. Touching stories and well designed exhibition. Cool brutalist building. And most importantly: independent.

The building is nice to visit, it probably has its own history which is unfortunately not documented. Half the artifacts itself are only described in Bosnian, perhaps the museum is not internationally targeted. There are multiple exhibitions, some a bit too arty for me, but hey, it's a museum; don't open the "dead pigeon" bag.

Was amazing museum, really beautiful and even moving exhibits! We were really excited to visit as Bosnia and Herzegovina has such a rich history! The ticket sales person was extremely friendly and kind :)

Exceptional museum rich in arts and history. Houses old analog photography booth and excellent library as well as depo of museum

For a reason beyond logic, this museum is somehow abandoned and left to fall apart unless someone has a reason to purposely do that. It is worthwhile a visit

SCAM!! Worst museum I have ever been. If you want to lose money and time, go here. I paid 7KM to see some photos without explanations, to see some objects with only explanations in Bosnian and to see a museum that has no structure at all. Also, it was dirty, they were also doing some renovation work and the staff was completely incompetent.

(Translated by Google) The staff is friendly, there are many memories from my childhood in it. This museum is something STA needs to invest in and protect everything inside, make the rooms warm. Thanks to the wonderful people who work and maintain it A warm recommendation (Original) Osoblje je ljubazno,mnogo je uspomena iz moga djetinjstva u njemu. Ovaj muzej je nesto u STA se treba ulagati i zastititi sve unutra, uciniti prostorije toplim. Hvala divnim ljudima koji rade i odrzavaju ga💚❤️ Topla preporuka

(Translated by Google) The care of the state, for the museum spaces, as well as for the people of this state, is obvious. Interesting exhibitions, and artists. Friendly staff.

(Translated by Google) It is sad and shameful whoever runs this institution. There is nothing to see except that they have rented everything and nothing about history. To disbelieve what a disgrace.

(Translated by Google) nice to remember some things .Extra. (Original) lijepo se prisjetiti nekih stvari .Extra.

It is a small museum, but with a very emotional impact. If you take your time to read, contextualize and empathize, you will probably leave with a sad felling from here. Watch out the black room, with very graphic images that could not be appropriate for children. The only bad thing is the heating. I went there during the winter, it was really cold inside.

Not very succesfull imitation of European modern art museums, not worth the expensive entrance ticket.

It would be shame to come to Sarajevo and not visit Zemaljski muzej. Huge indoor and outdoor exhibitions.

This museum has a very emotional exhibition on the Bosnian war. It shows some of the artifacts from the war time and there are lot of pictures to show what was happening in Sarajevo during the siege. There are some very deep and devastating stories throughout the exhibit and some of the images are pretty grim, so get ready for some war realness when you go. The museum is a great introduction to the conflict and provides context if you are interested into digging more into the topic. We went in the winter and the museum was cold since the heaters were not running.

Come here every time I’m in Sarajevo. It’s a small museum but I like to support it. The exhibit on the siege is quite nice every time.

A beautiful day at the museum and very historical, I have no words.

Museum in Sarajevo nice to visit

The museum displays the rich Bosnian history, although could use a bit of maintenance. Things were clean and professional, but I felt it could use an update past the Bosnian war! The country has changed so much since the conflict, it would be wonderful to have more of that on display

(Translated by Google) Great (Original) Odlicno

(Translated by Google) The History Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina is a Southwestern culture that deserves much more concern from society / state. It is sad that there is no heating in this period / January 2020 /, the building deserves a thorough reconstruction, it has collapsed. However, the museum does everything ... There are currently four exhibitions / exhibitions in the museum: The permanent exhibition in besieged Sarajevo 1992/95, the permanent exhibition of World War II, the Safet Rabbit exhibition, the exhibition We Refugees, the exhibition on the destroyed and rebuilt Sarajevo of the same objects. You have to visit these exhibitions, at least some .. (Original) Histotijski muzej Bosne i Hercegovone je JU kulture koja zaslužuje mnogo vrću brigu drustva/ države.

Trenutno u muzeju postoje četiri izložbe/postavke: Stalna izložna u opkoljenom Sarajevu 1992/95.g, stalna izložba II svijetskog rata, izložba Safeta Zeca, izložba Mi izbjeglice, izložba o porušenom i obnovljenom Sarajevu / istih objekata/.

(Translated by Google) Unmissable museum. Small. No frills. Melancholic like all Sarajevo. But there is the essence of resistance and memory. (Original) Museo imperdibile. Piccolo. Senza fronzoli. Malinconico come tutta Sarajevo. Ma c'è l'essenza della resistenza e della memoria.

(Translated by Google) There's plenty to see. Safet Rabbit's exhibition is great, fragments from the war ... but it's too expensive and expensive (Original) Ima se što vidjeti. Izložba Safeta Zeca je super, fragmenti iz rata ..., ali je prehladno i skupe karte

Better times will come, despite the current rulers. (Original) Svih pet zvjezdica uposlenim i upravi muzeja za silni trud da muzej zivi i radi.

Very nice. But not so big. It is all about war. Good for people that like history

(Translated by Google) The museum is really good There are many exhibitions by other artists and various exhibits One problem is the cold, it was colder in the museum than outside at one time.

(Translated by Google) It's sad to know that nobody cares about our museums. Investments are poor and maintenance is poor. In spite of everything, I suggest that each of us visits the permanent exhibition of the museum relating to Sarajevo at least once a year and the setting in the besieged and invaded city. Then we will appreciate freedom and life more. Let's invite friends, family ... (Original) Tuzno je znati da se o nasim muzejima niko ne brine. Ulaganja su mizerna a stanje odrzavanja lose.
