Marubi National Museum of Photography

After the visit to the Historical Museum, we will proceed toward the city center, at the promenade, sightseeing Migjeni Theatre on our way. The promenade is one of the best places to get in touch with the local lifestyle. Maybe it worth a coffee break before the visit of the Marubi Photography museum. Marubi Photography is placed right in the middle of this promenade. It looks like a contemporary art gallery, but the content of it will make you understand how reach is this city on culture and tradition. During your visit here you will learn about the Marubi dynasty. Pietro Marubi was an Italian architect, painter, sculptor, traveling through Albanian which got in love with this city and decided to get established in this city, where he used to open his first photography studio in 1856.
