Museum of Apollonia, Archaeological museum in Pojan, Albania
The Museum of Apollonia displays artifacts across seven pavilions within a converted fourteenth-century monastery dedicated to Saint Mary near the ancient city ruins.
French archaeologists initiated systematic excavations in 1924, leading to numerous discoveries that formed the foundation of the museum's collection, officially established in 1958.
The museum exhibits 688 significant artifacts spanning from the seventh century BCE through the Roman period, including coins, statues, and decorated funerary stones.
Located eight kilometers west of Fier, the museum offers multilingual placards and guided tours, requiring approximately ninety minutes for a complete visit.
The ground floor features the Kulmaku and Agonothetes halls, presenting metalwork and decorated steles from the period when Apollonia flourished under King Glaukias.
