Photo and description

The Historical Museum in Vlore is located in the very center, in the former building of local government bodies and public organizations. This museum was established in 1962

Hundreds of original objects are exhibited and preserved here, which illustrate various historical periods, from ancient times to the present day. In this museum, visitors can see archaeological sites from ancient cities in the Vlore region - Orikum, Amantias, Ploce, Olympia, Canina. The halls also contain historical artifacts from the medieval period. Among them - the original documents of the city of Vlora, weapons and personal items of famous historical figures.

The Historical Museum has a special department, which reflects the contribution of the population of the Vlore region in the struggle for independence. There are two separate pavilions that tell the story of the war in the region in 1920 and the democratic movement in June 1924.

The building of the museum is located in the place where the coffin with the body of the patriot of the country Avni Rustem was found. The burial was found by accident in the mid-80s of the last century, during the reconstruction of Vlore-Skele boulevard. The body was later reburied nearby, and the original hermetically sealed lead and glass coffin covered with the national flag was moved to the Historical Museum.
