We stumbled upon this little museum by chance and were convinced to visit it by one employee. We were astonished by the history which is gathered in this place. The staff is exceptionally knowledgable and friendly! The items on display tell a rich story of the town of Sarajevo and are themselves beautiful to look at. It is definitely worth a visit!

Unique museum worth seeing but the staff here were unprofessional. They're playing loud music on the mobile phone and laughing at full volume when having a visitor. The visitors cannot focus on the place and read calmly the information. We pay for the ticket and we are guests in your city and country so you need to show at least some respect. Even if this is some part of 'Balkan style behaviour' this shouldn't take place in the museum.

An amazing small museum, worth visiting. It tells so much about history, religion, culture, tradition, beauty of differences in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

A two-story, residence-turned museum along the Miljacka River showing the life in Ottoman period. Easily accessible with 10~15 minutes walk from Bascarsija. Description of the each room (there are about five) in Bosnian, English and German are available.

If you want to see piece of history of Sarajevo, than you should visit Despica house

Nice small house, venue for Sarajevo's first theatre performances.

If you are coming to Sarajevo, please visit this museum, because you will love it. You'll see original house that belonged to a wealthy ortodox family Despic, where you can see how Sarajevo lived in last centuries. The first house theatre was located here, so try not to miss it.

Very interesting muzeum. From ancient times to present. Beautifull furniture to see. Very nice stuff.

The history of the house, and how it came to its present structure, is interesting. Also, the story of the owners and their contributions to the arts is fun to learn about. There are family photos and even a copy of the funeral wishes of the owner (he did like doing things his way even if this was in the face of tradition). I am glad I put this on my to do list. Do buy the group ticket for the 5 museums. It's great value at 10 marks.

Two floors showing the differences between Austria-Hungary decor and classic Ottoman ear stylings. There are similarities, tall, tile-clad heater stoves in each room, enjoying coffee and lounging/socializing being the focus of most rooms. The ornate woods are delightful, and there is even a piano to show the modern influence.

I love this place, it was a home of rich orthodox family, Despic. They held first theatre shows in their house. Don't forget to read the letter from grandfather Despic to his heirs

Bosnia and Herzegovina

A wonderful place with the potential to be one of the symbols of Sarajevo that is unfortunately neglected

The curator (who's historian) was very friendly and open, and he introduced us to the house's history upon our arrival (like a small guided tour). Very interesting museum alongside the talks with the curator, which gave us an insight into the city's history too. I highly recommend to visit it along with "Sarajevo 1878-1914" museum (you can buy combined ticket too).

Very interesting insight In the life of a Bosnian orthodox merchant family living In Sarajevo In the 19th and 20th century. The decendants of the family donated 2 of their family homes to the city of Sarajevo the one In the pictures Is a museum In honor of their family called “Despića house”. The second Is used as a museum of Literary art.

An old Bosnian house with a lots of historical things to be seen!

The museum is located in the house of an old Serbian bourgeois family. Passing through culture and life in Sarajevo a hundred years ago. You can buy a joint ticket for several museums. The guide is incredibly interesting and willing to share his knowledge

(Translated by Google) Very interesting (Original) Molto interessante

Interesting little museum, which shows the synthesis of Oriental and western style inside one family home...

Authentic and perfectly saved rooms in this house represents mixture of cultures. Some objects inside have a story of how they got there. For some people photos of this place would be enough to see, but it's worth a shot to come and visit because staff will be happy to tell you story of each family in this house.

Many places of interest in Sarajevo. This is one of them.

Very interesting place

One of Sarajevo"s less known Landmarks, a unique building whose visit is like a small time travel. Certainly worth visiting.

Beautiful old house

(Translated by Google) Small, worth seeing museum, which makes the Orthodox everyday family life vivid, in particular also its change over time. The presentation is good, but could be renewed occasionally (eg yellowed labels). The relation of the current special exhibition "Heroj Valter" to the house is unfortunately not explained. (Original) Kleines, sehenswertes Museum, das das orthodoxe Alltags-Familienleben anschaulich macht, insbesondere auch seinen Wandel im Laufe der Zeit. Die Präsentation ist gut, könnte jedoch gelegentlich erneuert werden (z. B. vergilbte Beschriftungen). Der Bezug der aktuellen Sonderausstellung "Heroj Valter" zum Haus wird leider nicht erklärt.
