If you decide to come to Sarajevo and you want to know the history of our city and our country, to experience cultural diversity, to find out some interesting things about this region do not miss to visit the top 5 Sarajevo museums as seen by Meet Bosnia Travel.

The National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina, located in Sarajevo is a perfect option for you if you want to explore the history and culture of our country from prehistory until these days. There you can find exciting exhibitions in archaeology, ethnology, and natural sciences.

Something very important and interesting that you can find in the National Museum is definitely an illuminated  Jewish codex known around the world as “Sarajevo Haggadah”. This book is a collection of religious rules and traditions of Jews who brought Haggadah from Spain to Sarajevo probably in the 17th century where it remained all this time.

The Haggadah of Sarajevo is possible to visit only twice a week: Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:00 AM-1 PM.

Svrzo House is a perfect example of the traditions and culture of a Muslim family from the end of the XVIII century. It is also a great example of architecture in that period – the house is divided into two parts – selamluk (public part) and haremluk (family part of the house).

The house belonged to an eminent Bosnian Muslim family  Glođo, but since the family did not have any more male successors the house went into the ownership of another eminent family –  Svrzo family.
