A place not to be missed. The little cobbled streets up to the castle have cafes and quirky shops to look at, then when you reach the castle it is amazing. A museum that is one of the best I've been in. A restaurant for lunch and drinks and the views are stunning. A leisurely day can be spent here and one not to be missed. Make sure you have proper shoes

I was quite alone in the museum, being November, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. At the entrance, I grabbed an information sheet, which is available in about 10 languages, and then I walked from beginning to end through the two floors. The museum offers glimpses into past crafts and professions, as well as how poeople lived in old times. They also display typical Albanian outfits. Children would also enjoy the mysterious, dark spaces and the meandering corridors. It was a good decision to go and see it, and at 300 Lek it is basically a treat.

This museum honors the life of one of Albania's national heroes.

Wonderful museum about Skanderbeg, an Albanian national hero who rose up against the Ottomans in the 15th century. The museum is planned well, with thought-provoking, but not overwhelming, explanations. It has art, documents, murals, weapons, and other items about Skanderbeg. The museum is located on a mountain, and has a nice balcony from which you can see the region, even the capital city of Tirana in the distance. Admission was 200 leke per person, or less than €2.

Very well organized, excellent descriptions, altogether an amazing experience which I would recommend to all travelers interested in history and archaeology. The artifacts go back a very long time before Christ and are very well laid out in sequence.
