Unexpectedly,
this
is
not
an
underground
bunker,
everything
is
on
ground
floor
inside
the
mountain.
It
is
also
a
military
bunker,
not
a
fallout
shelter,
so
it
is
built
for
government
to
hide
only
up
to
few
weeks
or
months.
Having
said
that,
the
museum
is
a
must-visit
for
anyone
entering
Albania.
It
was
kept
secret
until
2014
so
everything
is
quite
fresh
and
original.
Best
thing
about
it
for
me
was
the
various
unique
smells
of
old
things:
funiture,
paint,
wiring.
It
really
made
it
easy
to
get
the
vibe
and
imagine
it
being
used
for
real.
There
are
several
dozens
of
rooms
with
varied
random
content
not
necessarily
related
to
bunker,
history,
war
or
economy.
Seems
like
they
want
this
museum
to
be
a
one-stop-shop
for
Albania
english
speaking
tourists,
since
their
other
museums
lacked
translations.
Only
about
half
of
the
rooms
had
expositions
in
2022,
so
they
have
a
lot
of
space
for
other
content
in
the
future.
The
bunker
is
linear
and
takes
1-2
hours
to
go
through.
The
corridors
are
narrow
so
I
advice
going
right
after
they
open
to
avoid
crowds.
I
recommend
against
buying
audio
guide,
since
the
same
text
is
easier
to
read
next
to
rooms
and
the
app
is
not
comfortable
and
does
not
work
well
(no
wifi
during
my
visit).
Some
of
the
rooms
were
poorly
explained
and
boring,
it
was
hard
to
connect
description
with
the
material
inside.
I
had
trouble
discerning
which
parts
of
exhibition
were
from
bunker
realities
(bufet)
and
which
from
daily
communist
life
(shop,
apartment),
but
all
of
the
staff
was
very
helpful
and
answered
my
questions
with
fluent
english.
