Bosnaseum has a goal to present whole Bosnian culture and history in one place. With more than 800 square meters of area you can feel Bosnian history as nowhere else.

The Bosnaseum museum is very interesting, showing the history, culture, tradition of all peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It also shows the war period in Mostar(exhibition of war photographs, a short movie about the destruction of the Old bridge). A very useful time spent visiting Mostar.

A sister museum to the one in Sarajevo, this museum is very similar in how it tells the story of ethnic cleansing in Bosnia during the 1990s along with references to the siege of Sarajevo. In places it can be really harrowing, especially some of the video exhibits, however it is worth sticking through this to get a clearer view of what happened and why it should never happen again. Really well executed and very informative. You can spend a couple of hours here easily reading and soaking up the information.

My main purpose for visiting Mostar was to see the famous bridge crossing. Built in the 1560's by the Ottomans as a way of securing and controlling the trade routes, the bridge was an engineering and architectural marvel. It was destroyed in 1993 and subsequently rebuilt in the same way as the original, by an international coalition. I spent a lot of time in the Old Bridge Museum located in one of the fortifications studying the reconstruction design drawings. What amazing engineering.
