The Ethnographic Museum and Archaeological Museum in Durrës will soon open their doors to visitors.

Both sites undergo restoration and conservation under the EU’s ‘EU4Culture’ program.

As work nears completion, UNOPS and the EU Delegation in Albania inspected the progress. The European Union funds the project, and UNOPS implements it in partnership with the Ministry of Economy, Culture, and Innovation.

When reopened, these sites will highlight Albania’s rich heritage and boost local tourism.

The Archaeological Museum suffered serious damage in the 2019 earthquake. It has been under restoration for three years and will reopen this fall.

Visitor numbers at Durrës’ cultural heritage sites have risen by 10,000 compared to last year.
