Why we like it
We appreciate museums that tell stories often overlooked in mainstream travel narratives. The Solomoni does exactly that—it's a small space that carries weight, documenting how Albania sheltered Jews during one of history's darkest periods. It's the kind of place that lingers with you after you leave.
