Gran colección de armas, en su mayoría fusiles y ametralladoras ligeras de la primera y segunda guerra mundial. No están identificadas por lo que si no tienes un conocimiento previo no vas a saber lo que son, pero por 200 lek, 180€, merece la pena.

Das Museum an sich wäre schön und gerade die Geschichte hierzu wäre sehr interessant, leider gibt es kaum Infos und alles was ausgestellt ist sind Waffen, diese auch noch frei zugänglich und lieblos am Boden trapiert. Es fehlt an vielem in dem Museum und es ist schade dass nicht versucht wird mehr daraus zu machen.

In my opinion it wasn’t worth the extra 200 lek entry fee. There are some interesting artefacts in there, but there is nothing really to explain them (or the story behind how they ended up there). No English translations for anything (or any other language for that matter). If you like old guns, go.

Das Museum ist in die Burganlage integriert und zeigt Besuchern für einen Eintritt von 200 Lek einige Waffen, Fahrzeuge und Artefakte aus dem 2. Weltkrieg. Highlight ist ein kleiner italienischer Panzer. Leider fehlen oft Erklärungen zu den Exponaten, gerade ohne Albanisch-Kenntnisse muss man sich die Hintergrundgeschichte selbst zusammenbasteln.

Well... First its impossible to visit the museum without pay a first fee of 400lek to enter into the castle, second they will ask you for a 200lek more at the second door to visit the museum... Wich is a confusing situation, people dont understand why the guardian ask for 200 and think that is tourist trap, a bakchich. But no... They should explain it at the entrance, its a trick... And third the war part and jail are only in Albanian language

Just wanted to make sure no one reads the low reviews and forget the 200 leks also includes the very informative Gjirokaster museum. Also the prison was eerie with the wind howling and doors creaking, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Ein sehr historischer Ort für Menschen die Geschichte lieben. Es gibt ein Museum der viele Waffen aus der Zeit des 2. Weltkrieg ausstellt. Einige in recht gutem Zustand. Beschreibungen gibt es leider fast garnicht.Was mit garnicht gefiel ist, dass die Waffen offen zugänglich liegen und es wirklich Menschen gibt die diese im Museum anfassen, damit spielen, durchladen, Posen und Fotos machen. Hat man hier in Albanien kein Respekt vor der Vergangenheit? Ich finde es absolut respektlos. Viele Menschen sind durch solche Waffen gestorben.Und was mich am meisten überrascht war die Reaktion der Kassiererin des Einlasses, die meinte, dass dieses Museum nicht in ihrer Verantwortlichkeit ist und ihr dies nichts angeht. Alle Anwesenden Gäste musste still sein, damit sie ihre Stimme erheben konnte. Ihr war es sichtlich egal. Einfach nur traurig 😞😢. Mir war schlecht über das Verhalten der Besucher und die Reaktion der Kassiererin. Der Security hat sich wenigstens noch über unsere Mitteilung bedankt.

Very informative and well balanced exhibition with a lot of interesting facts about the history of Albania. The modernised part of the museum has everything translated to English, is based a lot on oral history/witnesses’ testimonies, includes some trivia - really a top level. The older part probably hasn’t changed at all since the communist times but because of it it can be considered an artefact on its own (nothing has been translated from Albanian, though). Anyways, both parts are worth visiting, you can appreciated how dedicated Albania is to be open to tourists while holding its head up high. The castle itself is really impressive, well preserved.

Музей оружия был создан в турецкой крепости ещё во время правления коммунистического режима в Албании, в 1960 - 1970 годы прошлого века. Основные экспонаты, а их очень много - трофейное оружие Первой и Второй мировой войн. С учётом размещения экспонатов в мрачных и слабо освещенных казематах - увиденное впечатляет и остаётся в памяти надолго.

I loved the place, especially Zogs prison where none of the other tourists went. Very eerie vibe... The museum is to a large extent quite old but they are trying to revamp it and the newer part at the entrance was very informative. Well worth the 200 leke fee

Muzeu i Armeve është nje muze qe ka shumë potencial per te qënë nje muze elitar Kombëtar. Por per fat te keq është lene pas dore dhe ne meshiren e fatit. Ambjenti i ekspozimit qe dikur ka qene burgu i qytetit ka nevoje per restaurime me themel. Ne kete muze nuk është vene dore që prej regjimit komunist dhe shpjegimet per objektet e ekspozuara janë të pakta ose mungojne. Edhe pse tani ato jane pjese e historise. Gjithashtu mungon personeli i duhur per kete muze dhe per keshtjellen ne pergjithesi. Bileta kushton 200 Lek.

Будете в Албании, посещение Гирокастра и его крепости обязательно включите в свою программу.
