Bunk'Art 2

Absoloute treat! Visiting the Bunk’Art 2 Museum in Tirana was a powerful and unforgettable experience. Stepping inside the former nuclear bunker, I immediately felt the weight of history and the unique atmosphere of the underground tunnels. The exhibits were thoughtfully curated, blending multimedia displays, artifacts, and stories that brought Albania’s past to life in a very moving way. I especially found the sections on surveillance, dictatorship, and the resilience of the Albanian people both eye-opening and impactful. The museum was easy to explore, well-organized, and full of details that made me reflect deeply on the country’s history. Bunk’Art 2 was more than just a museum—it was an emotional journey and one of the highlights of my visit to Tirana.

The museum is quite nice for the experience of going to a bunker. There’s a lot of history background in the place, so you can learn a lot about Albania’s past. However I would expect a bit more of specific explanations on the bunker story, which is not really covered by the banners inside the museum.

This was an amazing place to visit to learn more about the history of Albania. You will ultimately end up spending about 2 hours to go through all of the museum. It's very interesting to learn about the country, communism, and the change over the past century. Definitely come visit!

A off October’25 entry cost is 900 LEK or €9. Audio guide not included. The place is small and can be walked in less than 10 mins. But if you want to read the story and get some idea of what is all about you have to go to each room and read the information available, only English available. They have an app that opens some very insightful stories from the view point of the person. I would suggest going to the House of Leaves first to have a much clear understanding before visiting this place. Choose your time wisely, early mornings even on Sunday are very busy and because of the narrow corridors, expect queues to form. Due to this many people just walk and leave the place without actually taking the time to go in each room and get an understanding of what the situation was back in the day

Great historical information. There is so much detail in the descriptions of events and timelines. It's all translated into English, which is much appreciated. The spaces are tight, but that adds to the effect of the place. It was very insightful for a foreigner that recently moved to Albania and is interested in learning the history of Albania.

Bunk’Art 2 is a gripping museum located in a real Cold War-era nuclear bunker beneath central Tirana. It’s not just history — it’s an experience. The exhibits on Albania’s secret police and surveillance state are powerful, haunting, and incredibly well-presented. Expect a sobering, emotional journey through a dark chapter of the country’s past. A must-visit if you want to truly understand Albania’s recent history.

I knew Albania had a cruel history from 1945 to 1991. I also come from the communist bloc, and from Poland, which was devastated by Nazis and communists...but to such an extent... Hang in there, Albanians. Your country is beautiful. Take care of it.

A powerful and eye-opening experience, offering a deep dive into the reality of life under communist rule in Albania. The museum takes you through the history of the secret police, surveillance systems, and the impact of Enver Hoxha's regime. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated and provide an in-depth look at the darkest chapter of Albania's past. As an Albanian, I found it both emotional and important to see how well the museum has preserved these painful but crucial memories. It's a must-visit for anyone interested in understanding the true history of Albania and the devastating consequences of communism. I highly recommend this to locals and tourists alike—especially to the younger generation, who might not fully understand the horrors of communism. A very well done and impactful experience.
