Ethnographic Museum of Krujë
Muzeu Etnografik i Krujës
A folk museum in an 18th-century mansion of the Toptani family, with the living room, private bathhouse and workshops preserved in their original state to show the life of Albanian aristocrats.
The mansion was built in 1764 and is one of the best-preserved Ottoman-era houses in Albania. Its wooden ceilings, fireplaces, painted walls and furniture have been kept in place. The museum also features a household steam bath, as well as oil-pressing and weaving tools. Staff often give tours in person, which makes the information lively. Located inside Krujë Castle, it is about a 3-minute walk from the Skanderbeg Museum, and a visit takes about 40 minutes.
