You can learn about the country’s history, from ancient times to modern times, by visiting the Brusa Bezistan cultural museum. The house museum Svrzina Kuća is a kind of time travel, and a stop here takes you to the period when the city was part of the Ottoman Empire. The interior has been preserved all these years, and the property itself also impresses with its traditional architecture, in which Turkish houses were constructed. Another such museum is the house Despića Kuća, where the late nineteenth-century family lifestyle is demonstrated – that is, the time when the town was under the rule of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The estate is notable for the fact that it was here that the first theatrical performances were staged for the bohemians of that time.
Another interesting cultural center of the capital of Bosnian and Herzegovinian is Muzej Sarajevske Pivare. It is situated on the basis of the most renowned beer factory, Sarajevska Pivara, whose history dates back to the Ottoman times. In addition to the fact that you can learn a lot of interesting information about how beer is made in Sarajevo, tourists are provided with the opportunity to taste the intoxicating drink at the end of the excursion through the museum. The educational building Akademija Likovnih Umjetnosti is one of the most remarkable structures in the town. It was constructed at the end of the 19th century and was initially a temple. The construction arose from the need for a place of worship for those who did not identify themselves as Muslims. The academy can still be considered a temple because of the Romanesque-Byzantine style in which it was built.
