The Historical Museum was inaugurated on October 28, 1981 and is the largest museum institution in Albania. It occupies a total area of 27,000 m2 and has an exhibition area of 18,000 m2. The museum building is distinguished for a compact volume on a centrally composed square plan symmetrically opposite an atrium courtyard. The National Historical Museum conveys a taste of hermeticism and tendentious monumentality, which was in harmony with the aesthetic taste and the general climate of the Hoxha regime. The mosaic of the facade of the National Historical Museum is a giant mosaic with dimensions of 10 x 40 m, which owns the "Skanderbeg" square. The surface is 400 m2. It was completed in 1981. In it are 13 figures presented in several groupings. The left is the group of Illyrian warriors, warlords and archers and Albanians of the anti-Ottoman war. Then, the National Renaissance is represented with two figures and the victorious partisan. The two symbolic figures, the worker and the peasant, are in the center of the surface, while on the right 5 figures symbolize the National Liberation War. In its premises are exhibited 6200 museum objects, which belong to a relatively long period of time, starting from the IV millennium BC and up to the second half of the XX century. Here you can visit: Ancient Pavilion, Medieval Pavilion, Albanian National Renaissance Pavilion, Independence Pavilion, Icon Pavilion, LANÇ Pavilion, Communist Persecution Pavilion and Mother Teresa Pavilion. The working group that worked on the project of the National Historical Museum consisted of architects: Sokrat Mosko, Enver Faja, Nina Shehu and Petraq Kolevica. Each showroom has its own unique architecture thus avoiding the monotony of repetition. In addition to the pavilion halls, the museum also has archive and laboratory facilities, temporary exhibition halls and conference rooms. Hours: Monday Break Tuesday - Saturday 10:00 - 17:00 Sunday 09:00 - 14:00

The largest museum in Albania holds many of the country's archaeological treasures and a replica of Skanderbeg's massive sword (how he held it, rode his horse and fought at the same time is a mystery). The lighting might be poor, but fortunately the excellent collection is almost entirely signed in English and takes you chronologically from ancient Illyria to the post-communist era. The collection of statues, mosaics and columns from ancient Greek and Roman times is breathtaking. Hours 9am-7pm Price 200 lekë/Person A disturbing and very important gallery devoted to those who suffered persecution under the communist regime is the most recent addition to the collection, though frustratingly, almost none of this display is in English. Another highlight is a terrific exhibition of icons by Onufri, a renowned 16th-century Albanian master of colour. The modernist mosaic adorning the museum's facade is entitled Albania and shows Albanians victorious and proud from Illyrian times through to WWII, with some unsurprisingly communist overtones.
