Itinerary

1. 1 h

   Bunk’Art 1 is the grander, more sprawling sibling to Bunk’Art 2. Located on the outskirts of Tirana, this massive 106-room underground complex was built in the 1970s as a nuclear shelter for the dictator Enver Hoxha and his inner circle.

2. 1 h

   Inside Bunk’Art 1, Enver Hoxha’s private suite is one of the most significant and eerie sections of the museum. While the rest of the 106-room bunker is stark and industrial, this suite was designed to provide the dictator with a level of comfort—and control—even in the event of a nuclear apocalypse.
