Gazi Husrev Bey’s Library
It was part of Kurshumli Madresa until a special area was built for it in Bey’s Mosque in 1863.
As the library’s collection continued to grow, it was later moved to a building next to the Emperor’s Mosque in 1935, which was in use until the war started in 1992.
After the war, the library was moved to a building next to the girls’ quarters of Gazi Husrev Bey’s Madresa in Drvenija and then, in 2013, it was moved to a specially designed facility in the heart of Baščaršija.
The library’s collection includes approximately 100, 000 manuscripts, books, journals and various documents written in Arabic, Turkish, Farsi, Bosnian and other European languages.
The library also has a museum with more than 1, 200 items on display, all of which testify to the rich cultural and religious traditions of Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Interessante approfondimento sulla cultura religiosa Bosniaca. La visita è abbinata al museo della moschea e alla madrasa. Tutto fa parte del lascito di Gazi Husrev che dura gestito con le regole da lui scritte da oltre 400 anni. Francamente mi è sembrato eccessivo fare pagare 15 KAM l'ingresso. Il materiale esposto era veramente pochissimo. Molti video e fotografie.
Great exhibition ✨️
