Sarajevo may not be known for its conceptual art—where the idea overrides the subject—but it bristles with modern galleries and art born from the wreckage of the 1992-95 Bosnian War. Skip finding these hotspots yourself, and access and understand them more easily with a guide. Highlights include a contemporary gallery that serves beer, the Sarajevo “roses”—bomb scars turned into flower shapes; and exhibitions showcasing local artists.
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Brodac Gallery, Brodac 4, Sarajevo 71000 Bosnia and Herzegovina
Contemporary art gallery Brodac is located in an old building that has a story, and a soul. It used to be an prison during Austro- Hungarian occupation. Now it is turned into a cozy place where you can visit contemporary Bosnian art exhibition every once in a while. They also serve an amazing local craft beer Gelender.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Ferhadija Pedestrian Street, Ferhadija Street, Sarajevo 71000 Bosnia and Herzegovina
Ferhadija runs west to east, from Vječna Vatra and the point where it meets Titova St., all the way to Gazi Husrev-Begova St., where it then turns into Sarači St. and continues east. On Ferhadija street we will see Sarajevo Roses, a concrete scar caused by a mortar shell’s explosion that was later filled with red resin. Mortar rounds landing on concrete create a unique fragmentation pattern that looks almost floral in arrangement. Because Sarajevo was a site of intense urban warfare and suffered thousands of shell explosions during the Siege of Sarajevo, the marked concrete patterns are a unique feature to the city.
