City
Sarajevo through objects and public spaces
At the library museum, two globes by Sarajevo muvekkit Salih Sidki-efendija Hadžihusejnović Muvekkit sit in a time-measurement display. Baščaršija’s Sebilj combines an octagonal stone base, open timber screen and copper roof; the 2014 City Hall exhibit pairs architectural drawings with photographs of its opening and reconstruction.
