If we were to pick the brightest gems from the treasure trove of material and intangible heritage kept in the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina, there is no way we could leave out the illuminated Jewish codex known around the world as the Sarajevo Haggadah. The haggadah (Hebrew for story, account) is a collection of religious rules and traditions arranged into the order of the Seder observed on Passover, the holiday celebrating the liberation of the Jews from slavery in Egypt.
Opening ceremony of the room that houses the most valuable holding of the National Museum of BiH, the Sarajevo Haggadah, was held on Thursday, 22nd February 2018, at 3:00 PM.
