The Albanian capital of Tirana hosts the country’s largest museum, the National Historical Museum. Its distinctive features begin with the exterior, which is adorned by a giant mural known as “The Albanians.” It represents the struggle against invaders over thousands of years. Inside, it boasts most of the country’s archaeological treasures, including a replica of the massive sword of Skanderbeg, a feudal lord and military commander who led a rebellion against the Ottoman Empire. Overall, its 6,200 objects date from prehistoric times to the late 20th century.
