The Ethnographic Museum of Kavajë, a town in Central Albania, after the restorative intervention of the EU4Culture program, finally opened its doors to the public. The museum was inaugurated in the presence of the EU Mission to Albania ambassador, Silvio Gonzato, while the Ministry of Economy, Culture, and Innovation was represented by Deputy Minister Lira Pipa.

The EU4Culture program brought entirely restored environments of the Ethnographic Museum of Kavajë, with artifacts curated in every detail, unique terracotta works, traditional costumes, and countless crafts.

The Mayor of Kavajë, Fisnik Qosja, stated that the museum would enrich the tourist offer of this town with one of the most beautiful “hotspots” of the Albanian cultural heritage.

Qosja expressed deep gratitude to the European Union and their representatives in Albania, the employees of the Municipality of Kavajë, as well as all the experts, specialists, and officials who were involved and worked night and day to make the realization of this important project possible.

The museum is not only about preserving the past; it is a living space for the community, showcasing masterfully the wealth and cultural heritage of Albania.

“By bringing together local historians, artisans, and international experts, in partnership with UNOPS, we are building a connecting bridge between the country’s history and its future. Proud to stand with Albania in honoring its heritage and uniting communities,” expressed on this occasion the European Union ambassador in Albania, Silvio Gonzato. (November 15)
