The Old Sarajevo Čaršija in 1949

The look of čaršija that we find on graphics from the 1949, represents a sketch of the time and people. The exhibition also represents certain kind of chronicle of an era.

Exhibition consists of interesting and valuable drawings and graphic art of famous B&H artists from the time when they were not so famous, from the Art Collection of the Museum of Sarajevo.
