The Bunk'Art of Albania is a truly unique and wonderful place created from the bunker made by a dictator with the help of the government and a non-profit organization. The dictator Hoxha created the atomic bunker to elope when he wanted. The building stays intact as it was built, but now comprises arts and artifacts in every nook and corner telling stories about the expedition of time.
The 5-storey bunker is filled with historical and contemporary arts along with the things used in communist era intact in the bunker. The amazing journey of the bunker begins with the long tunnel entry creating a mysterious environment in the air. All the rooms inside are kept as it is. The one-room belonging to the dictator himself is also still intact even with a red sheet on his bed. The complete history of Albania can be experienced here along with modern art.
The telephone kept in the room plays the speech of Hoxha on loop giving chills to the listeners. The whole building provides knowledge about the communist era and the dictators' rule. The big assembly hall created for conducting meetings is now converted into a concert hall where jazz music plays continuously. There is a room depicting the classrooms in the era of Communist rule which is quite fascinating. The whole experience leaves you in awe and curiosity to be present at the time this all was happening. The Bunk'Art Museum gives you an unimaginable experience which is truly stunning. The experience of the visit bunk'art is a must-have and that's why there also is Bunk'art 2 established for increasing the pleasing experience for the visitors.
