Durrës Archeological Museum, Archaeological museum in Durrës, Albania.

The national archaeological museum exhibits 3,204 artifacts discovered in the ancient site of Dyrrhachium, including Greek, Hellenistic, and Roman collections.

Established in 1951, the museum suffered substantial damage and looting during the 1997 national unrest before reopening in 2015 after extensive renovations.

The museum displays Roman funeral steles, stone sarcophagi, and a large elliptical mosaic known as The Beauty of Durrës measuring 17 by 10 feet.

The Regional Directorate of Durrës Monuments operates this museum with support from the Albanian Institute of Archaeology and Academy of Sciences.

The collection features miniature busts of Venus and ancient coins from a time when Durrës functioned as a minting center, with discoveries reaching Romania.
