Photo and description

The Brusa-Bezistan City Museum, a picturesque building of the Ottoman era, is located east of Sarajevo city center.

The building was built in the middle of the 16th century as a trading house, and in this quality, it fits perfectly into the nearby shopping area of Bar-Charshia. Rustem Pasha, the vizier and son-in-law of Suleiman the Magnificent, the great sultan of the Ottoman dynasty, had his own silk production. To sell products in Sarajevo, he ordered to build a trading house. Currently, this ancient stone building, topped with eight green domes, is recognized as an architectural masterpiece of the Ottoman era and a landmark of the country. During the civil war of the 90s, the house was badly damaged. The building was completely restored by the hands of volunteers. In 2004, the first museum of a new country, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, was opened there.

The museum today is the richest exhibition of objects that tell about the prehistoric, ancient and medieval periods of the history of the state. Here are collected collections of ancient and rare coins, agricultural tools, dishes and household items. The exhibitions of national costumes and handmade carpets are very beautiful. Enthusiasts who created the museum even found and compiled a collection of ancient tombstones.

Massive columns give the museum's interior grandeur. In this interior, the expositions of the numerous finds of archaeologists and unique objects from the Middle Ages that make up the museum fund look harmonious.

And the old residents of the city still call this century-old building a trading house,
