The Marubi National Museum of Photography, on the Kole Idromeno pedestrian street, safeguards the remarkable archive of the Marubi dynasty of photographers. Founded on the legacy of Pietro Marubi, its ticketed galleries display a selection from a collection of half a million negatives documenting Albanian life, portraits and events from the 1850s through the communist era. Beautifully curated, it offers a fascinating window into the nation’s social history and the birth of Albanian photography.
