Some of my friends and relatives that have visited this interesting museum with me during their travels to Albania in the past few years were surprised not to find the ex Communist era represented in it. This article from BalkanInsight gives them an answer and the hope that in their future visits they can explore also exhibits from this dark past that needs to be shown and dealt with in the new democratic society.
This photo was taken by me a while back. Now the museum front is completely covered by scaffolding since it's being renovated inside out.
Concurrent with this work is the extensive digging taking place in the huge Skanderbeg square that the museum faces, where some city plans are being carried out. Although they were advertised for a while last year, the general public is uncertain of what the final outcome of these changes will be; meantime, Tirana's population must cope in that area with restricted vehicular traffic, rerouting of public transportation, and inconveniences to pedestrians.
