TIRANA, August 23/ATA/ Prime Minister Edi Rama shared a view of the Shkodra Historical Museum that welcomed today a vibrant crowd of local and international visitors.
As tourism in Shkodra continues to grow, these cultural landmarks highlight the city’s unique charm. Rich history and striking architecture combine to create an unforgettable experience at the North Gate.
Established in 1947 as the “People’s Museum,” the Shkodra Historical Museum took its final shape by 1949. It originally sat in the city center inside a 19th-century monumental building next to the Clock Tower.
The museum grew out of late 19th-century collections from local Jesuit and Franciscan groups, along with donations from prominent Shkodra families.
In 1996, it moved to the historic Oso Kuka house, where it remains today. Run by the Municipality of Shkodra, the museum features sections for archaeology, ethnography, visual arts and a library. /gj.m/p.s./
