Museum of Medieval Art

Muzeu Kombetar i Artit Mesjetar
Albania, Sarande
The Museum of Medieval Art in Korce was founded in 1980. It is interesting in that it opens Albania to visitors from a completely new, different side of it. Due to the fact that for a long time Albania was a state closed to foreigners, very little is known about its history, culture and art.
The museum exhibits more than two hundred icons dating back to the 14th century. The works of the world-famous icon painter Onufry and his students are preserved here. The museum also exhibits works by David Selyanitsa, the artist Konstandini Shpataraku, Hieromonk, Ardenitsa, and the Katro brothers.
In addition to icons and paintings, you can see ancient objects made of ceramics, wood, precious metals and precious stones, textiles, carpets. The museum has several laboratories and special storage facilities for art objects.

Excellent museum. Modern, spacious and full of interesting exhibits. I didn’t even know before that Albania is so rich in talented people. This museum is a must to visit. Definitely, Albania has something to be proud of. The only caveat is that you can not take pictures and shoot videos in the museum. But we still managed to do it. )
