This remarkable attraction brings the recent past of Albania into context. This fantastic converted Cold War bunker lies on the outskirts of Tirana. It is now a museum of history and contemporary art. Originally the bunker was built for the Communist-era politicians and military top brass of Tirana in the event of a nuclear war. It is amazing in its scale and detail – set across five levels and has over 100 different rooms including a 200-seat meeting hall. It remained a secret for much of its existence. The entrance is a dark tunnel on the hillside near a still-active Albanian military base.

It now houses exhibitions that combine Albania’s modern history with contemporary art objects.
