Ethnographic Museum of Vlorë
Muzeu Etnografik Vlorë
A small museum in a 19th-century traditional mansion in the old town, displaying costumes, handicrafts and household furnishings from the Vlorë region.
The Ethnographic Museum is in the old town north of Flag Square. It occupies a 19th-century two-storey traditional stone-and-timber mansion, which during the Second World War served as a base for the communist underground. The displays include traditional costumes, embroidery, copperware, wood carvings and farm tools from Vlorë and the surrounding area, and the museum has recreated a traditional family living room and bedroom. It is small, and a visit takes about 30 minutes. Admission is about 200 lek. It can be visited on foot together with the Independence Monument and the Muradie Mosque.
