The tour-guide will accompany you in every room and exhibit, mostly at the sections about WWII and Communism era explaining what you'll see at each pavilion because at the museum not everything is translated in english. (Open Tuesday – Saturday 09.00 – 17.00; Price: €5/Person).
- The Unknown Partisan Monument is a war memorial dedicated to the wariars that fell during WWII. The Monument is a great example of socialist realism, and depicts a soldier raising his right hand waving troops forward while holding a rifle in his left. This is a perfect spot to talk about the glorification of the partisan war and the ways dictator Enver Hoxha used it to condemn his political rivals. (pass by)

- This is the most iconic piece of communist architecture in Tirana once dedicated to Dictator Enver Hoxha, nowadays reconcepted as Center for Technology. (pass by)
- This is the house of the Dictator. The villa was built in the “Bllok” after the 1960s, with the older part of the building mimicing 1930s architecture. The house has not changed since Hoxha died. We will discuss there how the communist establishment lived during that time and what happened after Hoxha died. (pass by)
- Memorial to communist isolations conceived as an artistic installation and co-created by former dissident Fatos Lubonja and artist Ardian Isufi.
