Stop At: Bunk'Art 1, Rruga Fadil Deliu Mbrapa Teleferiku, Tirana 1001 Albania
Bunk Art 1 is the best and most innovative museum in Tirana. The museum is located inside a massive communist bunker.
From 1945 to 1992, Albania was ruled by a communist dictator called Enver Hoxha. He constructed 750.000 bunkers in Albania, because he was paranoid and afraid of a foreign nuclear attack on the country. The foreign attack never happened, and the communism regime ended in 1992. But Albania still has thousands of unused bunkers.
The massive bunker, which accommodates Bunk Art 1, was intended to accommodate the communist dictator and his government if a foreign attack took place. It is a five-story underground bunker complex with over 100 rooms and a multitude of hallways. But it was never used.
Nowadays, the bunker has been converted into a very interesting museum about Albania's history. You can listen to Enver Hoxha on the phone, see old TV footage, learn about nuclear weapons and see the dictator's room. You get a unique insight into the dark year under the communist rule in Albania. Simply said, Bunk Art 1 is the most impressive museum in Albania, but it is also a little creepy...
