House Studio Kadare is a place where you can get an idea of Kadare's work. It is a place where you can encounter the writer’s work and recognize its infinite ramifications in the times, in literature, and in his readers.
Visiting the former apartment of Ismail Kadare gives an interesting insight in living in Albania whilst being constantly watched by secret service. You must be exceptionally creative and intelligent. How wonderful it is to see that even under those circumstances people continue to have a sense of humor and continue to love and cherish life, and a fireplace:) Our guide was just great, we hope to see you in Amsterdam soon, to visit Rijksmuseum. Thank you for your time and all your answers to our questions!

Gallery 43 is the only one in Tirana with authentic artworks from the famous albanian artist Rakip Shabani. The gallery has 2 floors with 94 unique paintings. You can visit it for free just to take a glimpse of the Albanian history, culture and nature. The paintings represent different lifestyles of the Albanian culture and not only. The artworks timeline varies from 1969 to January 2020.
I can safely say this is one of the best galleries in town. Each painting I saw was unique. The environment was very inviting and friendly and I had an excellent time. I would totally recommend visiting this place and buying art there.

After the inaguration, in June 1978 by the dictator Enver Hoxha, opened to the public the anti-nuclear bunker built by the communist government. A 5 floor palace underground, with 106 rooms and an assembly hall, now turned into an historical and art center called "BUNK'ART". The passageways, the areas provided for the meetings of the General Staff of the Army in case of war, the rooms where was thought would sleep the communist exdictator Enver Hoxha and the former Prime Minister Mehmet Shehu in case of a nuclear attack, the gigantic hall dedicated to the meetings of the political Bureau which contains also an albanian tipical Buffe are transformed into a video museum exhibition and into art. Starting from April 2016, BUNK'ART is now made permanent, turning into a unique attraction site for tourists in the region, showing the albanian life during the 45 years of communism.
Visiting this location will allow you not only to understand the history of communist Albania (1944-1991), but gain an understanding of the country from when it became an independent nation. Located in Enver Hoxha’s personal bunker on the outskirts of Tirana, this amazing complex is made up of countless corridors and rooms and also gives an insight into how ordinary Albanian’s, who didn’t conform to the communist ideal, were persecuted.

Bunk'art 2 reconstructs the history of the Albanian Ministry of Internal Affairs from 1912 to 1991 and reveals the secrets of “Sigurimi”, the political police that was the harsh persecution weapon used by the regime of Enver Hoxha. Bunk'art 2 is the first major video museum exhibition dedicated to the victims of communist terror.
I haven't been to every museum in Albania, but we wanted to go to one museum - given it's central Tirana and the tourguide thoroughly recommended, and highest reviews and most reviews on tripadvisor, we went for this one, and wow it did not disappoint. = My girlfriend and I have done probably 100+ museums to the point where to be honest they got boring, but wow was this one good. Very graphic, in details accounts of people from 1914 to present day, and a very vivid walkthrough of the life of Albanians, their viewpoints, recent history, and helps you to understand their ways of thinking and feeling towards certain topics. There are so many interesting facets to the museum and don't want to give much away - just go and read things and take it in and enjoy it. Wear a t-shirt as it's warm underground and maybe a bit of deodorant :) it's ventilated and cooler than outside but still a bit warm so bring water too.
