MUZEJ JEVREJA BOSNE I HERCEGOVINE (JEVREJSKA ZBIRKA)
JEWISH MUSEUM OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Summary/Abstract: The Jewish Museum, opened to mark the quadricentennial of the arrival of the Jews in Bosnia and Herzegovina, is housed in the highly atmospheric setting of the old synagogue. The exhibition includes artefacts relating to Judaism, the contribution made by the Jews to the development of science and culture, and their sutfering during World War II. Lack of space has forced the Sarajevo Museum to limit and somewhat alter its permanent exhibition to create space for visiting exhibitions and its own temporary exhibitions. The exhibitions hosted by the Jewish Museum include the exhibition of Jewish wedding gowns from Vienna, Children’s Tales from Prague, and the exhibition entitled “The Jews, medical workers,” mounted by the Museum jointly with Apoteke Sarajevo.
