Elbasan Ethnographic Museum, Ethnographic museum in Elbasan, Albania.

Located in an 18th-century building, the museum features traditional artifacts, tools, and costumes displayed across two floors with carved wooden ceilings and decorative motifs.

The museum opened in 1986 within a former residence of the Sejdins family, transforming half of their traditional two-story house into an exhibition space.

Inside the museum, separate lounges for men and women with fireplaces reflect Albanian social customs, while exhibits showcase regional crafts and traditional clothing.

The museum administration operates under Elbasan Municipality and maintains archives in two western rooms connected by an internal corridor leading to a gazebo.

Each room contains period-appropriate furnishings and wooden windows with shutters, presenting authentic living conditions of a wealthy Albanian household.
