Abstract
Abstract. Bosnia and Herzegovina always has been a place where the East meets the West. Over 1000 years, different cultures, religions and civilizations have left their remains in this small country in Western Balkans. Despite all wars and tragic destructions, today in the heart of Sarajevo one can find mosques, Catholic and Orthodox churches and Jewish synagogues next to each other and people of different nations and religions living together in mutual respect and friendship. Multiethnic spirit of Bosnia and Herzegovina lives through its cultural heritage. Therefore our task is to ensure its presentation and preservation using Information and Communications Technologies (ICT). So far researchers have achieved significant results by creating several virtual museums. In this paper we will present the Museum of Bosnian Traditional Objects, Digital Catalogue of Stecaks and the Virtual Museum of Sarajevo Assassination, giving an overview of the process of creating virtual environments from multiple data sources based on various 3D digitization technologies: some based on traditional 3D modeling, other based on laser scanning or photogrametric techniques.

Summary
Bosnia and Herzegovina was always a place where the East meets the West. Over 1000 years, different cultures, religions and civilizations have left their remains in this small country inWestern Balkans. In this paper we will present the Museum of Bosnian Traditional Objects, Digital Catalogue of Stecaks and the Virtual Museum of Sarajevo Assassination, giving an overview of the development process, techniques and technologies used in that process. Since virtual museums are quite a new form of cultural heritage presentation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, we made a survey on how different user groups, such as cultural heritage workers, museum curators and general public, appreciate this new concept. The paper is structured as follows: Section 2 presents the related work in virtual museums field, Sections 3-5 describe creation of the Museum of Bosnian Traditional Objects, Digital Catalogue of Stecaks and the Virtual Museum of Sarajevo Assassination, Section 6 offers the analysis of the users feedback and results of the survey we conducted.
