Albania, mostly known as the Republic of Albania, is a country in Southeast Europe. The country is one of the most popular tourist places in Europe for its historical as well as political importance. Tirana, the capital city of Albania is located in the centre of the country and plays a very important role in the development of the whole country. National History Museum, the largest museum of the country is home to the collection of Albania’s history and its archaeological treasures. The mosaic at the entrance called “The Albanians” is the summation of the stories of Albanians fighters who fought for the country. The mosaic was completed before the day of opening in the year 1980 by five Albanian artists.
The National History Museum has eight pavilions in total. They are pavilions of Antiquity, Renaissance, Middle Ages, Independence, National Liberation Anti-fascism War, Iconography, Communist Terror, and Mother Teresa. Pavilion of Antiquity is the most popular among them in the National History Museum. It consists of a total of 585 objects from the Paleolithic period to the antiquity (early middle ages).
