About This Museum
Tucked away in the heart of Mostar's old bazaar, this museum is a poignant tribute to the city's soul. It doesn't just tell the story of the iconic Old Bridge, but of the people who built it, crossed it, and painstakingly pieced it back together after the war. You'll find yourself moving from the grand Ottoman-era engineering marvels to deeply personal artifacts recovered from the riverbed. The entire experience feels like walking through a love letter to resilience and shared heritage.
Collection Highlights
The star is undoubtedly the original construction machinery and tools used by the Ottomans in the 16th century. Don't miss the 'Memory Room,' a quiet space filled with personal items—a watch, a key, a coffee grinder—all pulled from the Neretva after the bridge's destruction. There are also fantastic scale models showing the bridge's original construction and its modern-day reconstruction.
Visitor Information
It's right there on Kujundžiluk, that famous cobblestone street lined with coppersmiths, so you can't miss it. The atmosphere inside is hushed and reflective, a stark contrast to the bustling market outside—a perfect pause during your exploration of Mostar.
Architecture & Building
Housed within a thoughtfully restored historic building that seamlessly blends with the Ottoman-era architecture of the surrounding old town, its stone walls feel like a natural extension of the bridge's own story.
