The National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Definitely recommend to visit this museum! We spent about 4 hours with 7 y.o. daughter. Museum is huge! There are several departments in this museum: geological, ethnos, natural, historical and temporal exhibition. We really enjoyed each of them! Also you can walk in botanical garden in the courtyard.

You will need more than an hour to see the entire museum, but if you do arrive at 6pm on a day when they close at 7pm, you can get a discount on the entrance fee. A one-hour visit is still worthwhile; you'll just have to choose which sections to see.

Being a tourist, this is definitely not a place to visit. It has some local info, but mostly it is an educational place for kids about the whole world and little Sarajevo’s place in it. It covers every thing, but very brief on every topic. And the garden is in a sorry state, maybe because it’s in winter (14/12/24).

For all museum lovers! The National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo is the oldest museum in the country, established on February 1, 1888, during Austro-Hungarian rule. It features four distinct pavilions linked by terraces and an inner atrium that contains a botanical garden. The building is designed in the Neo-Renaissance style. Notably, it is the only purpose-built museum facility in Southeastern Europe. This cultural and scientific institution spans various fields such as archaeology, art history, ethnology, geography, history, and natural history.

It's very nice place, the museum itself is divided to 4 sections, main one contains most of Bosnian history like "stećak" and warriors equipment, second(left) section is about traditional culture in Bosnia, third one(front) is about animals, fossils and ores and minerals. I haven't been in fourth(right) but I think it's library or something like that. Although museum is great but for us natives it's just boring, because we can go anytime we want.

Visited this museum during our recent trip to Sarajevo. It is 30 minutes walk from the old town or you can also get the tram (2or3) to the stop outside. The museum is palatial and has different 'wings' with a botanical gardens in the middle. The wings house artifacts from medieval and roman periods, a small ethnography part and a natural history museum, with many different types of animals in beautiful ornate display cabinets. There wasn't much about recent events or history. The entrance fee is lower than some of the other museums at 8mk and is well worth it. Visited on a Sunday and not busy at all.

SO much history here, we went at midday on a Saturday and it was quiet and spent 2 hours here as there are so many parts. Amazing to see the history of the country

Rating 4 for the building. The interior is interesting. It's a small museum and you can see it all quickly. I paid 8km and rushed through it in 30mins as 6 busses of school kids stormed the place. So it came super loud quickly. There are sections focused on Bosnia Herzegovina and there was a section about Greece.
