The Ethnographic Museum in Gjirokastra is located where the house of the dictator Enver Hoxha used to be. The original building was burned down in 1916. The museum’s building was built around the 1964-1966 as a model of the traditional houses of Gjirokastra, including many cultural elements. From the 1966 till the 1991 the building served as a Anti-Fascist Museum in memory of the victory achieved against the fascists during the World War II. In 1993 the exhibits shown in the former Ethnographic Museum (The Skenduli House) were moved in this building. Nowadays the museum displays household items, folkloric costumes, traditional artefacts of the well-known families of the city.
