Bosnaseum
About This Museum
Tucked away on Mostar's old market street, Mala Tepa, the Bosnaseum feels more like a local's passionate project than a formal institution. It’s a wonderfully eclectic dive into the soul of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where you can find everything from ancient Ottoman artifacts right next to starkly beautiful wartime photography. The air is thick with the scent of old wood and history, a quiet contrast to the bustling street outside. It’s the kind of place that tells a thousand small stories rather than one grand narrative.
Collection Highlights
A full-scale replica of a traditional Bosnian living room, complete with intricately carved wooden furniture and a central 'šilj' carpet, feels instantly familiar. Nearby, glass cases display delicate filigree silver jewelry and a sobering collection of personal items recovered from the 1990s siege.
Visitor Information
It's easy to miss the entrance, so just look for the small sign near the bridge. The staff are incredibly welcoming and often share personal anecdotes about the exhibits—don't be shy to ask questions.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a restored stone building typical of old Mostar, with creaky wooden floors and small windows that cast soft light on the displays.
