Totally recommended to anyone who already knows the recent history of Albania and to the ones who will partially discover it here. This place is really worth a visit! The guy at the entrance is very knowledgeable and patient, answering to all my numerous questions showing good attitude and objective facts. It's a pity not many Albanians come. Tourists, please keep on visiting it, and Albanians, especially youngsters who endlessly hear stories from family and relatives about the Communist era, please keep the memory of the prisoners, victims and tortured alive. I'm from Shkoder, living abroad -never lived in Albania- and it broke my heart realising that my brother and I were among the very few Albanians visiting such an important venue. 100 lek for students

This is a great museum and well worth a visit in Shkodër. Detailing the history of communism in Albania, this museum gives a great insight into the realities of that era, and in particular the war on religion that Albania undertook. Most haunting of all is the holding cells at the end, with two floors of 20 cells. Many of those on the ground floor contain stories of those detained, and art installations about the regime. Beware, the end part/cells is upsetting - but real. An important story that must be remembered.

Nicely done museum highlighting the oppression of mostly religious persons during the Communist Era in and around Shkoder. It's 150 lek or 2 eur per person to enter. Museum takes about 30-45 minutes. At the end is the real prison where victims were held. Very real and moving. Highly recommend if in the area.

A very interesting museum. A large part is on the concentration camps across eastern europe, the atrocities and stories of the people who were imprisoned there. There are also some of the genuine cells used in the past which show the horrible conditions of the prison. 200 Leke/2€ entry.

Really worth a visit. A great museum on the impact of communism on the country, focusing especially on the enforcement of atheism across the country and how the regime prosecuted any religious activities or figures. Entry is only 200Lek/€2 and an hour will be enough for most people.

A poignant place fun of pain and difficulty. It's not an easy visit but well worth the sadness. It's a place of importance and significance. The cells are harrowing but the difficult recent history of Albania shouldn't be hidden or ignored. 200 lek well spent in my opinion.
