History Museum of Bosnia & Herzegovina Tour in Sarajevo

A powerful story of creativity, human resilience and cultural resistance comes from the more recent history of the city of Sarajevo - it is a story of ordinary people and survival skills they developed during the siege of Sarajevo (1992-1996). The starting question is what one would do if one day he/she wakes up and realizes that normal life is no more. Out of sudden, electricity, water, heating, and food supply were cut off, and human lives came under threat caused by constant shelling and sniper fire coming from the surrounding hills and occupied neighbourhoods. That is exactly what happened to citizens of Sarajevo in April 1992 and eventually turned to become the longest siege in modern history.

The History Museum is not just a repository of historical objects but also a space for living history. It also continuously organizes temporary exhibitions that explore various aspects of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s history, culture, and heritage.
