Gjergj Kastrioti Skënderbeu National Museum, Historical museum at Krujë Castle, Albania.

The National Museum exhibits military artifacts, historical documents, and personal belongings within eight dedicated pavilions inside the medieval fortress of Krujë.

The museum, inaugurated in 1982, occupies a strategic fortress that withstood three major Ottoman sieges during the years 1450, 1466, and 1467.

The architecture incorporates traditional Albanian stone tower design elements and medieval Romanesque influences, reflecting the regional building heritage.

The museum welcomes visitors from Monday to Saturday between 09:00-14:00 and 16:00-19:00, with extended hours on Sunday from 09:00-19:00.

The exhibition includes a precise reproduction of Skanderbeg's characteristic helmet, topped with a goat head, symbolizing his military leadership against Ottoman forces.
