The National Historical Museum in Tirana is the largest Albanian museum established on October 28, 1981. The exhibition, covering an area of 18,000 m², is located in a building designed by a group of architects led by an Albanian builder named Enver Faja. The collections of the museum in Tirana are primarily prehistoric and ancient artifacts, medieval and modern objects, as well as examples of Albanian sacred art.
The most valuable objects of the ancient period that can be found in the collection of the National Historical Museum in Tirana are above all the head of Apollo and the mosaic from Durrës, depicting the head of a woman. The main exhibit from the Middle Ages is the reconstruction of the entrance to the church of St. Jan Włodzimierz in Elbasan.
