Highlights
  • Muzeu Historik Kombetar - This tour will start with the visit to our National History Museum to have a short presentation with the origin of Albanians and their history.

The National History Museum is the largest and most important museum in Albania because it holds the historical facts and cultural heritage of the Albanians of the fourth millennium BC until the second half of the 20th century. It was opened to the public on 28 October 1981 in Skanderbeg Square. About 5000 exhibited objects in a 18000m2 space provide curious visitors the past assets and evidence of our country. The museum is divided into eight pavilions: the Pavillion of Antiquity, the Pavillion of the Middle Ages, The Renaissance Pavilion, The Pavilion of Independence, the Albanian Iconography, the Anti-Fascist, The Pavilion of the Communist Terror and Mother Teresa.
