Learn About Albania's Struggle During the Communist Regime at Bunk'Art 2

The Bunk'Art 2, a nuclear bunker turned museum that highlights the brutal communist dictatorship that ruled Albania for 45 years, is the best place to learn about a country's tragic past and how it came to be in order to comprehend its people and their origins. The Bunk'Art 2 museum is located just south of the Clock Tower. You won't miss it as the entrance looks like a semi-dome concrete communist-era nuclear bunker popped out from the ground right in the middle of the city. The museum will take you through the history of the rise and fall of communism in Albania. Its 24 rooms are divided into topics from how Sigurimi (the secret service) bugged a room or a regular object like a bloom for surveillance to the countless stories of political persecutions.

The entry fee is 500 LEK per person, but given the quality of the content, it was definitely worth it especially if you want to learn more about Albania. The name Enver Hoxha will come up a lot the further south you travel in Albania and there is no better place to learn about him than at Bunk'Art 2 museum.
