    This important historical place should be visited. I would especially recommend the people of Sarajevo to go and see their history. And to find out where their roots come from.

    (Translated by Google) Now a museum and this church is one of the oldest in our area, it is beautiful and exudes mystery. On the wall of the Museum is one of the most important and valuable icons - the Last Supper. You need to come and see, experience that antiquity and beauty. I recommend ✔️ (Original) Sad muzej a ova crkva je jedna od najstariji na našem području , lijepo je i odiše misterijom . Na zidu Muzeja nalazi se jedna od izuzetno važnih i vrijednih ikona – Tajna večera . Trebate doći i vidjeti , doživjeti tu starinu i ljepotu . Preporučujem ✔️

    (Translated by Google) The Museum of the Old Orthodox Church in Sarajevo, ranked among the top five in the world, contains icons and documents of inestimable value. The Museum of the Old Orthodox Church of the Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel in Baščaršija, Sarajevo, which originated from the treasury, contains the fifth most valuable collection of icons in the world. On the wall of the Museum is one of the most important and valuable icons - The Last Supper - The Last Supper from the 18th century, and at the entrance are the gilded Imperial Doors, which otherwise serve to separate the altar from the main part of the church carved in the 17th century. , noted the team of Anatolia agencies. "About 700 exhibits exist in the Museum of the Old Orthodox Church, which can be divided into three groups: The first, most important group consists of icons. This museum is widely known for its iconographic collection, and one icon painted by a student of El Greco is in an exhibition at the Byzantine Museum in Athens. It was lent to that museum and it really experienced a lot of publicity there. It will soon be returned to the Museum. However, other icons are also very important because they were created in the period from the 15th to the 19th century and in terms of art history they belong to the so-called Italo-Cretan iconographic school, with the fact that they have some local features ... " The second collection are goldsmith's works concerning church, liturgical things such as chalices, which are usually made of gold, not because of the need for luxury but also for a greater degree of hygiene, incense burners and others. And the third consists of liturgical uniforms, which are very old and date from the 15th to the 19th century. "There is a very valuable iconographic collection and it is ungrateful to compare and make a ranking list of museums, but certainly as far as the collection of icons is concerned, the Museum of the Old Orthodox Church is one of the most famous in the world ..." Within the Museum there is a collection of 140 icons, four iconostasis fragments, a collection of 114 objects made of metal, a collection of 13 books, a collection of six old documents, and a collection of 37 liturgical fabrics and embroidery ... (Original) Muzej Stare pravoslavne crkve u Sarajevu, rangiran među prvih pet u svijetu, sadrži ikone i dokumente neprocjenjive vrijednosti. Muzej Stare pravoslavne crkve svetih arhanđela Mihaila i Gavrila na Baščaršiji, u Sarajevu, koji je nastao iz riznice, sadrži petu po vrijednosti zbirku ikona u svijetu. Na zidu Muzeja nalazi se jedna od izuzetno važnih i vrijednih ikona - Tajna večera - Posljednja večera iz 18. vijeka, a na samom ulazu smještene su pozlaćene Carske dveri, koje inače služe za odvajanje oltara od glavnog dijela crkve rađene u duborezu iz 17. vijeka, zabilježila je ekipa agencija Anadolija. "Oko 700 eksponata postoji u Muzeju Stare pravoslavne crkve koje možemo podijeliti na tri grupe: Prvu, najznačajniju grupu čine ikone. Po ikonografskoj zbirci ovaj muzej je poznat nadaleko, a jedna ikona koju je naslikao učenik El Greka nalazi se u Vizantijskom muzeju u Atini na izložbi. Posuđena je tom muzeju i ona je zaista tamo doživjela veliki publicitet. Ona će uskoro biti ponovno vraćena u Muzej. Međutim, i druge ikone veoma su značajne jer su one nastale u periodu od 15. do 19. vijeka i u smislu istorije umjetnosti one pripadaju takozvanoj italokritskoj ikonografskoj školi s tim što imaju i neke svoje lokalne osobenosti..." Druga zbirka jesu kujundžijski radovi koji se tiču crkvenih, bogoslužbenih stvari kao što su potiri, koji se inače prave od zlata, ne zbog potrebe za luksuzom nego i radi većeg stepena održavanja higijene, kadionice i drugi.. I treća čine bogoslužbene odore, koje su veoma stare i datiraju počevši od 15. pa do 19. vijeka. "Postoji vrlo vrijedna ikonografska zbirka i nezahvalno je malo porediti i praviti rang listu muzeja, ali svakako što se tiče zbirke ikona Muzej Stare pravoslavne crkve spada u najpoznatije na svijetu..." U sklopu Muzeja nalazi zbirka od 140 ikona, četiri ikonostasna fragmenta, zbirka od 114 predmeta izrađenih od metala, zbirka od 13 knjiga, zbirka od šest starih dokumenata, te zbirka od 37 liturgijskih tkanina i veza...

    Close to the train rails near to bas carsija on right side there is old orthodox church one of the greatest treasures in our city. Builded in neo-gothic stille . It looks like the time has been stoped around her . If u come inside u will be able to see some of the greatest church pictures ( icones) in whole balkan region. Entering the doors it will look like u are time traveled 400-500 years in past... great experience for belivers but tourists as well...

    (Translated by Google) Serbian Orthodox Church dedicated to the Archangels Michael and Gabriel. The fifth museum in the world by the value of the icons it owns. The inside of the church is calming, the smell of incense and wax candles is felt (Original) Srpska pravoslavna crkva posvećena arkanđelima Mihaelu i Gabrijelu. Peti muzej u svijetu po vrijednosti ikona koje posjeduje. Unutrašnjost crkve smiruje, osjeti se miris tamjana i voštanih svijeća

    Unfortunately, the museum ticket seller tried to cheat me; he wanted to collect double (!) the entry price. The museum has very nice exhibits, but there are no explanations at all, only rudimentary information (name, location, year). For particularly old objects, the inscription is only handwritten in Cyrillic. After a revision, the museum would definitely be very, very worth seeing.

  • 5/5 Vesna M. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The Museum of the Old Orthodox Church in Sarajevo is inevitable to visit, because it is an id symbol of multicultural Sarajevo, few where you can hear the call to prayer from the Bey's mosque, and the ringing of church bells from the Orthodox Church and Catholic Cathedral at a distance of 300 m. The Jewish Museum is some 100 meters away. It should be noted that this museum was better guarded by BiH Army fighters during the war than the mosque in Sarajevo. Definitely worth a visit. (Original) Muzej stare pravoslavne crkve u Sarajevu neizostavno posjetiti, jer je to jedan id simbola multikulturnog Sarajeva, malo gdje se moze cuti ezan sa Begove dzamije, i zvonjava crkvenih zvona sa pravoslavne crkve i katolicke katedrale u razdaljini od 300 m. Jevrejski muzej je nekih 100 metara dalje. Treba napomenuti da je ovaj muzej u ratu cuvan od boraca Armije BiH bolje od dzamija u Sarajevu. Svakako ga treba posjetiti.

    Wonderfull old church with museum, mixed architectural and artistic styles. In museum you can find old cyrilic manuscripts from 14-17. century as well as old icons from 12-17. cenntury. Hidden pearl among Sarajevo museums. You can also find an old relics of St. Tekla (1th century AC) and some other later saints.

  • 5/5 Bojan B. 4 years ago on Google
    Wow. Amazing Serbian orthodox church. Very old. One of the few in Sarajevo. In city center, on the main street. So old and so pretty. We were lucky to talk to the man responsible for watching over the church. He told us many stories about the church, about Serbian people and history. I am very grateful that he spent some time to talk with us. Place that's really worth of visiting and experiencing. For every recommendation
