Bunk'Art 2
A museum in a former nuclear bunker of the Interior Ministry in the city centre, telling the history of the communist-era secret police, the Sigurimi, and political persecution.
The entrance is a mushroom-shaped concrete bunker beside the square, with more than 20 exhibition rooms underground. They present the history of Albania's police and secret police from 1912 to 1991, interrogation and surveillance methods, labor camps and the stories of victims. Some rooms retain their original radiation-proof doors and ventilation systems. The exhibition is information-dense and takes about 1–1.5 hours. It complements Bunk'Art 1, and if you can only visit one and time is short, choose this one.
