Gjirokastër Ethnographic Museum, Ottoman ethnographic museum in Palorto Quarter, Gjirokastër, Albania.
The four-story museum building features traditional architectural elements of Gjirokastër houses, with rooms arranged to display historical living spaces.
Constructed in 1966 on the birthplace of Enver Hoxha, the building first operated as the Anti-Fascist Museum until its transformation in 1991.
The museum exhibits demonstrate daily life through traditional household items, folk costumes, and objects used by wealthy families during the Ottoman period.
The museum welcomes visitors daily from April to September, while between October and March it operates Wednesday through Sunday with entry at 200 Lekë.
Each floor maintains the original spatial organization of a traditional Gjirokastra residence, allowing visitors to experience authentic domestic arrangements.
