    In the heart of the old town and yet no other visitors when I went. This is a lovely 16th Century building, previously used as a silk market but now used to explore aspects of the city's early existence from prehistoric times. It is only 3KM to visit (the cost of a double scoop ice-cream) so well worth stopping to see, even if you just have 30 mins to spare. Please support these excellent cultural exhibitions.

    This is one the finest museums in Sarajevo (the collections are very good) with very friendly staff who (free of charge!) gave me a 20-minutes excursion in English and answered my questions. I was quite pleased and enjoyed being so welcomed. Definitely worth visiting.

    The museum focus on the evolution and the transformation of Sarajevo. With the admission of 3KM you learn quite a bit.

    Found this museum (3km entry)by accident. Of particular interest to me was a group of displays of Sarajevo area Bronze and Iron Age artifacts, including the rarely found research on the Celtic/ Celts ( Keltsko) Incredible to see that early regional history present in a small museum. Wall descriptions are in Bosnian and English. Only unfortunate part was that the early artifacts were not labeled, but other artifacts were well labeled. I need to return to take in the beautiful pieces from later time periods. A fantastic small museum nested close to a hearty Bosnian restaurant.

    In the heart of Baščaršija, you will find a construction with 6 cupolas. It is not obvious, but that's a Museum of Sarajevo. Kind guides will show you the history of Sarajevo and the region. You will get out rich with knowledge and very interesting stories and historical facts about Sarajevo and the Bosnian people. There are a lot of interesting and very old exhibits that witness the oldest periods of civilization in this area. You will be able to ask questions about each historical period and get all answers. I recommend you to visit this museum and enjoy it. Cheers!

    Even if it's a smaller museum compared to others in Sarajevo, I can guarantee you this is one of the best museums in whole Sarajevo. If you really want to see and learn about the whole known history of Sarajevo and to see many artifacts, this is an excellent place for you! :)

    An excellent museum! Right at the center of Sarajevo, it offers all the information on the history of this amazing city. The person in charge, who is an archaeologist, will happily guide you through the history paths and everyday life of Sarajevo and will answer all your questions. Spend some extra time in this museum and you will not regret it!

  • 4/5 Martin D. 2 years ago on Google
    An excellent review of five thousands years of human habitation, how Sarajevo developed and the saving of the Ottoman area from ‘improvement’. All this from an enthusiastic staff, so take time to ask questions. Notable also for 15th Century carved stones that lay over graves, the carvings telling the life story. Something unique and which can still be found on the grave stones in the many modern cemeteries.

    Historical museum in heart of Sarajevo. From prehistorical till Austro Hungarian empire. Buy group ticket for Despica house, Historical museum, Jewish house and Svrzica house.

    The place is nice, but the museum is really old and it can appear pretty boring...
