The name of the Museum, once Museum of the Revolution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, has changed several times, but it has always been recognizable.

The house belonged to the wealthy Orthodox Christian Despić family, which donated the house to the City, along with another property now housing the Museum of Literature and the Performing Arts. The house is noted as the venue for the city’s first theatre performances, so that it may be regarded as the precursor of modern theatre. With the opening of the Despić House, Sarajevo gained yet another museum property presenting the lifestyle of a wealthy merchant family.

Museum of the Jews of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Adress: Velika avlija bb
www.muzejsarajeva.ba/en/depadance/the-jewish-museum

The Jewish Museum or Museum of the Jews of Bosnia and Herzegovina is housed in the oldest synagogue in Bosnia and Herzegovina, built in 1581. Many experts are of the opinion that this was the finest exhibition space in the whole of ex-Yugoslavia; and indeed, on entering the Synagogue, one steps into a different, sheltered world, which attests to the centuries-old presence of the Jews in this country and to the contribution they made to its development in many fields, particularly science and the arts. Particular attention is devoted to the suffering of the Jews during World War II.
