Sarajevo has been home to many different religions for centuries, giving the city a range of diverse cultures. In the time of Ottoman occupation of Bosnia, [[Islam|Muslims]], [[Eastern Orthodox Church|Orthodox Christians]], [[Catholic Church|Roman Catholics]], and [[Sephardi Jews]] all shared the city while maintaining distinctive identities. They were joined during the brief occupation by [[Austria-Hungary]] by a smaller number of [[Germans]], [[Hungarians]], [[Slovaks]], [[Czechs]] and [[Ashkenazi Jews]]. By 1909, about 50% of the city's inhabitants were Muslim, 25% were Catholic, 15% were Orthodox, and 10% were Jewish.<ref>''[[The New York Times]]'', 3 April 1909, p. 19. Quote: "Of the 40,000 inhabitants of Sarajevo, the present capital of Bosnia, nearly one-half are Mohammedan, about one-quarter Roman Catholic, 6,000 followers of the Greek Orthodox or Serb faith, and 4,000 Jews..." ([https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/20447865/ Newspapers.com] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180127082029/https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/20447865/ |date=27 January 2018 }})</ref>

Historically, Sarajevo has been home to several prominent Bosnian poets, scholars, philosophers, and writers. To list only a very few; [[Nobel Prize]]-winner [[Vladimir Prelog]] is from the city, as are the writer [[Zlatko Topčić]] and the poet [[Abdulah Sidran]]. Nobel Prize-winner [[Ivo Andrić]] attended high school in Sarajevo for two years. [[Academy Awards|Academy Award]]-winning director [[Danis Tanović]] lives in the city.

The [[Sarajevo National Theatre]] is the oldest professional theater in Bosnia and Herzegovina, having been established in 1921.

The [[Alija Izetbegović]] Museum was opened on 19 October 2007 and is in the old town fort, more specifically in the [[Vratnik (Sarajevo)|Vratnik]] Kapija towers Ploča and Širokac. The museum is a commemoration of the influence and body of work of Alija Izetbegović, the first [[Chairman of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina|president of the Presidency]] of the [[Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina]]. Sarajevo is also home to the [[War Childhood Museum]], an independent not-for-profit museum containing personal belongings from the war and showing stories behind them. In addition, in 2018, the museum won the [[European Museum of the Year Award#Council of Europe Museum Prize winners (1977–)|Council of Europe Museum Prize award]] for best museum.<ref>{{Cite web |title=EMYA 2018: THE WINNERS |url=https://www.europeanforum.museum/en/news/emya-twenty-eighteen/ |access-date=2022-10-12 |website=www.europeanforum.museum |language=en |archive-date=12 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221012194349/https://www.europeanforum.museum/en/news/emya-twenty-eighteen/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The city also hosts the [[Sarajevo National Theatre]], established in 1921, and the [[Sarajevo Youth Theatre]]. Some other [[cultural institution]]s include the Center for Sarajevo Culture, [[National and University Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina|Sarajevo City Library]], [[National Gallery of Bosnia and Herzegovina]], and the [[Bosniak Institute]], a privately owned library and art collection focusing on Bosniak history.

Demolitions associated with the war, as well as reconstruction, destroyed several institutions and cultural or [[religious symbol]]s including the [[Gazi Husrev-beg Library]], the national library, the [[Oriental Institute in Sarajevo|Sarajevo Oriental Institute]], and a museum dedicated to the [[1984 Winter Olympics]]. Consequently, the different levels of government established strong cultural protection laws and institutions.<ref>Perlez, Jane (12 August 1996).

===Music===

[[File:Tifa i Bregovic Nis polovina 80-ih.jpg|thumb|[[Bijelo Dugme]], widely considered to have been the most popular band ever to exist in the former [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|Yugoslavia]] and one of the most important acts of the [[Popular music in Yugoslavia|Yugoslav rock scene]], originated in Sarajevo. Pictured are [[Mladen Vojičić Tifa]] (left) and [[Goran Bregović]]]]

Sarajevo is and has historically been one of the most important musical enclaves in the region. The Sarajevo school of [[pop rock]] developed in the city between 1961 and 1991. This type of music began with bands like [[Indexi]], [[Kodeksi]], and singer-songwriter [[Kemal Monteno]]. It continued into the 1980s, with bands such as [[Plavi orkestar]], [[Crvena jabuka]], and [[Divlje jagode]], by most accounts, pioneering the [[Balkans|regional]] rock and roll movement. Sarajevo was also the home and birthplace of arguably the most popular and influential Yugoslav [[Band (rock and pop)|rock band]] of all time, [[Bijelo Dugme]], somewhat of a Bosnian parallel to the [[The Rolling Stones|Rolling Stones]], in both popularity and influence.

Sarajevo was also the home of a very notable [[post-punk]] urban subculture known as the [[New Primitivism|New Primitives]], which began during the early 1980s with the Baglama Band which was banned shortly after its first LP and was brought into the mainstream through bands such as [[Zabranjeno Pušenje]] and [[Elvis J. Kurtović & His Meteors]], as well as the ''[[Top lista nadrealista]]'' radio, and later television show. Other notable bands considered to be part of this subculture are [[Bombaj Štampa]]. Besides and separately from the New Primitives, Sarajevo is the hometown to one of the most significant [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|ex-Yugoslavian]] alternative [[industrial music|industrial]]-[[Noise music|noise]] bands, [[SCH (band)|SCH]].

[[File:Evstafiev-bosnia-cello.jpg|thumb|left|[[Vedran Smailović]] playing the cello on top of the ruins of the [[National and University Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina|National library]] in 1992]]

Perhaps more importantly, Sarajevo in the late 19th and throughout the 20th century was home to a burgeoning and large center of [[Sevdalinka]] record-making and contributed greatly to bringing this historical genre of music to the mainstream, which had for many centuries been a staple of Bosnian culture. Songwriters and musicians such as [[Himzo Polovina]], [[Safet Isović]], [[Zaim Imamović (musician)|Zaim Imamović]], [[Zehra Deović]], [[Halid Bešlić]], [[Hanka Paldum]], [[Nada Mamula]], [[Meho Puzić]] and many more composed and wrote some of their most important pieces in the city.
Sarajevo also greatly influenced the pop scene of Yugoslavia with musicians like [[Zdravko Čolić]], Kemal Monteno, [[Dino Merlin]], [[Seid Memić Vajta]], [[Hari Mata Hari]], [[Mladen Vojičić Tifa]], [[Željko Bebek]] and many more.

Many newer Sarajevo-based bands have also found a name and established themselves in Sarajevo, such as [[Regina (Bosnia and Herzegovina band)|Regina]] who also had two albums out in Yugoslavia, and Letu Štuke, who actually formed their band in Yugoslavia with the famous Bosnian-American writer [[Aleksandar Hemon]] and got their real breakthrough later in the 2000s. Sarajevo is now home to an important and eclectic mix of new bands and independent musicians, which continue to thrive with the ever-increasing number of festivals, creative showcases, and concerts around the country. The city is also home to the region's largest jazz festival, the [[Jazz Fest Sarajevo]].

American heavy metal band [[Savatage]], released a song entitled "[[Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24|Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24)]]" on their 1995 album ''[[Dead Winter Dead]]'', which was about a [[cello]] player playing a forgotten [[Christmas carol]] in war-torn Sarajevo. The song was later re-released by the same band under the name [[Trans-Siberian Orchestra]] on their 1996 debut album ''[[Christmas Eve and Other Stories]]'', which the song gave them instant success.
