National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina

The country's oldest museum (1888), home to the medieval Sarajevo Haggadah and a botanical garden.

About

Four pavilions around a botanical garden hold archaeology (including medieval stećak tombstones), ethnology and natural history. The star is the Sarajevo Haggadah, a 14th-century illuminated Jewish manuscript saved twice — in WWII and again during the siege.

Local tip

The Haggadah is shown in a dedicated room — check at the desk whether it is on display.

Location

Zemaljski muzej Bosne i Hercegovine, Sarajevo
