This beautiful building dates back 500 years and survived the wars with relatively little damage. Now only used religiously on special Jewish occasions it is converted to a museum over 3 floors displaying various artifacts of Jewish culture and their time in Bosnia & Hertzogovina. A large book hangs from the ceiling detailing the names of 12000 Jews killed here in WW2. The displayed circumcision knife made my eyes water. Very cheap to enter, just 3KM.

(Translated by Google) The first city in my life where Jews lived for hundreds of years in peace and love with Bosnians. Mazl Comrade! They say that Sarajevo is the second Yerushalayim, and for good reason. (Original) Первый город в моей жизни, где евреи сотни лет жили в мире и любви с боснийцами. Мазл тов! Говорят,что Сараево - второй Йерушалаим, и не зря.

(Translated by Google) A magical place, with such an incredible history. Great exhibits and educational films about the Jews in Bosnia and Herzegovina and also about the Haggadah. When I visited the museum, I was led and taught by an elderly lady. To this lady I want to say one thing, that she is probably the friendliest person by far whom I have met in a long time. The other staff is accommodating and friendly. Do not forget enough time to plan, because the museum has a lot of interesting things. I would recommend to anyone! Admission is very cheap compared to other museums. (Original) Ein magischer Ort, mit einer so unglaublichen Geschichte. Tolle Ausstellungsstücke und lehrreiche Filme über die Juden in Bosnien und Herzegowina und auch über die Haggada. Als ich das Museum besucht habe wurde ich von einer älteren Dame geführt und belehrt. Zu dieser Dame möchte ich eins sagen, dass sie, die wohl mit abstand freundlichste Person ist, der ich seit langem begegnet bin. Auch das andere Personal ist zuvorkommend und freundlich. Nicht vergessen genug Zeit einzuplanen, denn das Museum birgt sehr viel interessantes. Würde ich jedem empfehlen! Der Eintritt ist im Vergleich zu anderen Museen sehr günstig.

There is a Museum of the Jews of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This was the oldest Synagogue in Sarajevo and now is a museum. For 10 marks you get entry to this Museum and to 4 others; svrzo, despic, brusa bezistan, and museum of Sarajevo (1878 to 1914). There are pictures and items inside from the past.

(Translated by Google) A significant place especially if one wants to learn something about the history of the Jewish people in the city (Original) Znacajno mesto pogotovo ako se hoce nauciti nesto o istoriji jevrejskog naroda u gradu

(Translated by Google) A place that is not a detour to visit the sights and history of Sarajevo .. A place where one can see and feel how the Jews lived and lived in Sarajevo .. (Original) Mjesto koje je ne zaobilazna destinacija u obilasku znamenitosti i historije Sarajeva..Mjesto u kome se moze vidjeti i osjetiti kako su živjeli i žive Jevreji u Sarajevu..

Nice small museum tucked behind the bustling streets of the Bazaar quarter. I found the presentation quite appealing, as there was neither an information, nor an object overload. This renders the presentation even more impressive. Also the building as such is a very interesting one...

Entrance is 3 KM, 1.5 euro, Monday to Friday. You have 3 floors of expositions telling the history of Jews in Bosnia, 2WW, Holocaust, everything that happened there.

(Translated by Google) Before the Holocaust, Jews made up 10 percent of Sarajevo's population. They are an integral part of its history and tradition. A large number of Sarajevo Jews made an immeasurable contribution to the cultural, scientific, economic and every other development of the city. That is why this museum should be an indispensable part of every city tour. (Original) Jevreji su do holokausta činili 10 posto stanovništva Sarajeva. Neodvojiv su dio njegove historije i tradicije. Veliki broj sarajevskih Jevreja dao je nemjerljiv doprinos kulturnim, naučnom, privrednom i svakom drugom razvoju grada. Zato je i ovaj muzej treba biti neizostavan dio svakog razgledanja grada.

(Translated by Google) Historically significant museum (Original) Historijski znacajan muzej

(Translated by Google) A must-see spot for sightseeing in Sarajevo. Also visit the Askenazi Synagogue on the other coast. (Original) Neizostavna tocka na razgledavanju Sarajeva, Takodjer posjetite i Askenazi sinagogu na drugoj obali.

(Translated by Google) Pretty nice (Original) Abbastanza bella

(Translated by Google) The museum offers a rich content of material culture of the Bosnian Sephardim and is worth a visit, and for such a visit it is a shame to come to the curator who comes unprepared (although the visit is announced), asks questions about the origin of the visitor and tells things from his "research field" spends the object and is not acquainted with the content for which we are here. (Original) Muzej nudi bogat sadrzaj materijalne kulture bosanskih Sefarda i vrijedi ga posjetiti a za takvu posjetu steta je doci kod kustosa koji dolazi nepripremljen (iako je posjeta najavljena), postavlja pitanja o porijeklu posjetioca te prica stvari iz nekog svog "istrazivackog polja" a da goste ne provede objektom i ne upozna sa sadrzajem zbog kojeg smo tu.

Informative, but smaller than I thought it would be.

Old synagogue, remarkable in its own right. Museum guide is one of the best we encountered anywhere. He is so much fun and education about Jewish culture Sephardic especially. Please go there and enjoy it. If you encourage him to talk you can end up spending much more time than expected and being happy about it.

Very interesting, very beautiful and fascinating!

Highly recommend a visit to the museum.

Beautiful small synagouge in the centre of Sarajavo.A great experience of cultural heritage and rich padt with an ecpert guide

It has been a great experience. The second and third floors were especially interesting.

Small, informative and insightful. Well worth a visit.

This is a must to visit. It is very fascinating. Aido was our tour guide, he is very friendly, helping, and explained everything about the history of the museum and country.

A moving place to learn about Judaism and the Jewish people who lived here and the vibrancy of their lives before the atrocities that took so many lives under the Croat Ustasa and German Nazis.

A museum that needs to be visited. Jews are an essential part of Sarajevo who played a big role in its development until WW2

Obwohl es nicht gut ausgeschildert wird, dieses Museum ist eins von fünf das mit eine "5 für 10 Marken" Karte besucht werden kann. Diese Karte darf gekauft, das jedes Museum ein Besuchneswert ist. Es ist ein kleines Museum das sich auf einer ganz spezifische Zeit der jüdische Gesichichte konzentriert. Mann soll es nicht mit anderen jüdische Museen vergleichen. Ich mochte am besten die Ausstellung der "Righteous of Nations". Wenn man sich die Zeit nimmt um jede Geschichte zu lesen, wird mann gleichzeitig die Gesichte den zweiten Weltkrieges in den Balkanstaaten lernen. Ich gebe es nur 3 Sterne weil es hätte sich mehr Mühe gegeben um mehrere Objetken auszustellen. Das Haus ist sehr groß und es mangelt sich nicht am Platz. Zweitens, war die Dame am Empfang. Ich habe ihr gefragt ob das Besuch mit einer Erklärung oder einer kleine Führung begleitet würde, und hat sie gesagt, "Nein, weil ich sehr beschäftigt hier im Büro bin." Und dann machtesie die Tür zu und saß sich ganz gemütlich wieder und schaute Fern. Drittens, es gäbe auch keinen WC in diesem Museum, was unmöglich für ein offentliches Raum ist! Aber Sarajevo will nicht auf Turismus angewiesen sein, und sie zeigen es jeden Tag.

Kleines Museum mit viel Ausbaubedarf. Die Geschichte der jüdischen Bevölkerung in Sarajevo hätten man interessanter gestalten können. Für 3km macht man aber nichts falsch.

Beautiful building with some interesting documents and description. As they admit themselves in an introduction, the museum could be more than it is.

The museum delivers a respectful and enlightening experience with thoughtful exhibits and artifacts, offering a deeper understanding of Bosnia and Herzegovina's multicultural tapestry. During my November visit, I had the entire museum to myself, spending just over 2 hours exploring its compact yet impactful space. While the potential for becoming one of the most interesting Jewish museums in Europe is evident, there's room for improvement. A lot of the information on the labels/plaques was poorly written and occasionally a bit confusing. The stories of the Righteous Among Nations were hard to read, which was a shame. That could easily be an interactive exhibit.

Friendly staff and nice museum

cool

We visited the museum and synagogue a few years ago and I really enjoyed the experience and learning about Jewish history in Bosnia. The curator was lovely and really helped my wife in getting valuable information.

The history of the Jew immigrants in Sarajevo

Ral treasure of these country u can see in places like these . For hundreds of years peoples worldvide found a place to live in our city. But for last 30 yeqrs manny of them are trying to leave..... thats sad

first of all it is interesting to explore the life of the jewish community in bosnia and sarajevo. they have been a part of the country for more than 500 years. the building has an interesting architecture. however the presentation is outdated and on some places they seem to be careless like on some windows where you can see giant spider webs

Truly fascinating museum Intriguing, pleasant, and heartbreaking at the same. A must see for every Sarajevan and visitor alike.

A piece of history of sephardic Jews in Sarajevo

Very interesting

Very interesting experience.

Very nice museum, must see for tourists.

(Translated by Google) Super everything on a level (Original) Super sve na nivou

Small and modest, the exhibit will be sufficient to give you an idea of the Sephardic Jews’ history on Sarajevo from its beginnings to the holocaust. The museum is housed on a beautiful old synagogue, which alone makes the visit worthwhile.

this a small museum about the Sarajevo Jews history. It is placed in a very old medieval synagogue definitely worth seeing. Has a small entrance ticket

Amazing and poignant! A beautiful structure still being used occasionally by the Jewish community of Sarajevo, Bosnia Filled with real artifacts and photos cataloguing the history of Sephardic Jews in Sarajevo, before WWII. Run by Jews, but made as a sober but loving gift to everyone, this restored synagogue & museum give justice to the triumph of the Chosen people under the Nazis and the efforts of non-Jewish Bosnians to resist the systematic antisemitic propoganda, risking their lives to save their Jewish neighbors!

Best Jewish Museum at EX Yugoslavia region. If you are interested in Sephardic culture this is the right place for you. Baruch HaShem girl who is working at the museum is so nice and welcoming, big SHALOM TO ANJA❤❗She is Hebrew and English speaker and is able to inform you about Jews in Bosnia. PS: TICKET PRICE IS SO GOOD❗
