Museum sights in Sarajevo

  1. Tunnel Museum

    The tunnel that saved Sarajevo! Most of the 800m-stretch under the airport has collapsed, but the Tunnel Museum, on the southwestern side of the airport, gives visitors just a glimpse of its hopes and horrors: the hopes of people surviving with the food it brought in and of the injured it took out, and the horrors from the pounding overhead artillery and sniper fire during the long hours of waiting to go through.

  2. A

    National Museum

    The best exhibition in the National Museum is the Ethnology section with its fine display on Bosnian music and instruments, well explained in English. The Natural History section has its share of stuffed birds and beasts but the Prehistory section is empty due to impending building repairs.
