Ethnological Museum (Emin Gjiku Complex)
Muzeu Etnologjik Emin Gjiku
A well-preserved 18th-century Ottoman-style mansion that displays traditional Albanian clothing, objects and ways of life, often with English-language guided tours.
The Ethnological Museum is set in the 18th-century mansion of the Emin Gjiku family. Several old stone-and-timber houses surround a courtyard. The museum displays the life-cycle customs of Albanians in Kosovo, from birth and marriage to death, along with traditional costumes, silverwork, weapons and furniture. Staff often give free guided tours in English. It is one of the highest-rated local museums on Tripadvisor. Admission is free or low-cost. It is closed on Mondays and is a 10-minute walk from the north side of the old town.
