The Ethnographic Museum is an ethnographic museum in the city of Gjirokastra. The museum building is a monument of cultural heritage. It presents the ethnography and cultural wealth of Girokastra in all its dimensions. The Ethnographic museum is open all year. It stands on the site of the home of Enver Hoxha, communist dictator of Albania from 1944 to 1985. As the original house of Enver Hoxha, it existed until 1916 (it was accidentally burned). Enver Hoxha lived in his house until he was 8 years old. The reconstruction of the house started in 1933 and ended in 1966 (the period of the communist system) to become the Museum of the Anti-Fascist National Liberation War. With the change of the system from communist to democratic (1991), it has turned into an Ethnographic Museum, collecting artifacts and original objects from all the traditional houses of Gjirokastra. It is located in the neighborhood "Palorto" and offers an overview of the best features of a typical Girokastrite house, starting from the ceilings, sergeants, wardrobes in walls and attics. The reconstruction was designed as a model traditional Gjirokastra house with many classic features known to have been copied from particular houses around the city.  The house has four floors, all of which are open to the public. The rooms are arranged as they would have actually been used and are decorated with numerous household items, folk costumes and cultural artefacts typical of a wealthy Gjirokastra family of merchants or Ottoman administrators living in the 19th Century. With the new investment, we have created the opportunity to present the ethnographic museum in all the necessary dimensions Ethnological areas of Gjirokastra, Religious Symbolism, Social Symbolism, Traditional Gjirokastra House, Traditional Gjirokastra Wedding, a room dedicated to the dark period of the communist system and the birth room of Enver Hoxha together with the only original object from his family (his mother's chest).
