The National Archaeological Museum of Tirana is the first museum established in Albania after World War II, founded on November 1, 1948. Located on the east side of Mother Teresa Square near the University of Tirana, the museum is housed in a building originally designed by Italian architect Gherardo Bosio. It serves as a central institution for the preservation and presentation of Albania’s rich archaeological heritage.
The museum’s collection spans a vast timeline, from the prehistoric period to the early 20th century. Visitors can explore artifacts from the Stone Age, Bronze and Iron Ages, Illyrian civilization, Roman and Byzantine periods, and the Middle Ages under Ottoman rule. Among the highlights are ancient jewelry, Roman sculptures, and large clay pots with unique decorative motifs. The museum also includes a specialized library with over 7,000 volumes on archaeology and history.
Beyond exhibitions, the museum plays a key educational and research role. It is affiliated with the Institute of Archaeology of the Albanian Academy of Sciences and organizes archaeological expeditions throughout the country. Additionally, it oversees other regional museums, such as the Durrës Archaeological Museum, contributing to the broader understanding and preservation of Albania’s cultural past.
