Why we like it
We appreciate museums that feel lived-in rather than sterile, and this one does. The blend of archeology and everyday ethnography — textiles, household objects, coins — tells a fuller story of Shkodër than artifacts alone could. The curator's presence matters; it's the difference between looking at objects and understanding them.
