The news was shared on Wednesday by Minister of Culture, Elva Margariti, who said that this is another attraction for tourists visiting Korça.
“After the completion of roof restoration, the house-museum of the painter Vangjush Mio in Korça will open its doors to visitors, who flock to the city of serenades every day”, said Margariti.
Due to the ethnographic values it carries and the fact that one of the most prominent Albanian painters was born there, it has been declared a house-museum.
