Natural Sciences Museum Sabiha Kasimati

Natural Sciences Museum Sabiha Kasimati, Natural sciences museum at University of Tirana, Albania.

The Natural Sciences Museum "Sabiha Kasimati" in Tirana occupies a building near the Electronics Market and is part of the University of Tirana. Its seven pavilions display around 3,000 items from Albanian biodiversity, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects, aquatic invertebrates and plants, with invertebrates forming the largest share of exhibited faunal specimens. The geology section shows the country's main minerals and rocks.

The museum was founded in 1948 as part of a scientific institute and received its current name in 2018 to honor the country's first ichthyologist. This name change marked a recognition of research contributions to the nation's natural sciences.

The museum honors Albania's first ichthyologist in its name and displays collections of Mediterranean species gathered by local researchers. Visitors can see how these holdings document the biological diversity found across the region.

The museum now occupies a building near the Electronics Market (Tregu i Elektronikës) in Tirana, having moved from its earlier premises. The zoological and botanical sections belong to the University of Tirana's Faculty of Natural Sciences, while the mineralogy and palaeontology section falls under the Faculty of Geology and Mining, now part of the Polytechnic University of Tirana.

The museum's scientific storage holds the largest share of its invertebrate specimens, kept apart from the seven public pavilions. Curators and taxidermists Muhamet Shpati and Grigor Jorgo prepared and maintained these holdings, while researchers including Ilia Mitrushi and Vasil Puzanov built the collections.
