Bratko Museum of Oriental Art
Muzeu i Artit Oriental Bratko
Albania's only museum of Asian art, showcasing Oriental artworks and photographs donated by Dimitër Bratko, a collector who lived in the United States.
The museum originates from the private collection of Dimitër Bratko, a native of Korçë who emigrated to the United States early in life. During the Second World War he served in the military in Asia, where he collected large numbers of porcelain, wood carvings, Buddhist statues, and textiles from Japan, China, India, and elsewhere, which he later donated to his hometown. The museum also holds old photographs he took. It is a small but distinctive museum, and it can be visited on the way after the Museum of Medieval Art. Opening hours are irregular, so it is best to check in advance.
