This museum is a must if you want to get to know Kadare better – the exhibitions lets you peep inside his childhood through his own words. I wouldn’t call this a museum though — it is more like a memory place (which is even better).
If you visit, take time to watch all videos – you won’t really get the full experience without it.

A great historical experience that in my opinion is a must go if you’re into writing. Kadare is a famous writer who has an entrancing writing style that is inspired by communist era experiences. His home is very beautiful and a lot of history is hidden inside the walls. There are also beautiful views from the balcony of the nearby mountains. Highly recommend.
