About

The Archaeological Museum of Durrës (Albanian: Muzeu Arkeologjik i Durrësit) in Durrës, Albania, established in 1951, is the largest archaeological museum in the country.

The museum is located near the beach and north of the museum are the 6th-century Byzantine walls, constructed after the Visigoth invasion of 481. The 1997 rebellion in Albania saw the museum seriously damaged and looted.
