Museum of Apollonia, Archaeological museum in Pojan, Albania
The Museum of Apollonia is an archaeological museum in Pojan that displays finds from the ancient city. The collection comprises more than 600 objects from different periods and is spread across seven pavilions housed in a converted monastery.
French archaeologists began systematic excavations at the ancient site in 1924. Their discoveries formed the foundation for the museum, which opened officially in 1958.
The museum displays objects that document life in the ancient city, from everyday items to valuable pieces. You see coins, statues, and gravestones that show how people here lived and died.
The museum sits about 8 kilometers west of Fier and is easily reached by car or taxi. The exhibits are labeled in multiple languages, and you should plan about 90 minutes for a visit.
The ground floor features the Kulmaku and Agonothetes halls with metalwork and decorated steles from when the city flourished under King Glaukias. These two rooms preserve special works that reflect the height of the ancient settlement.
