    The Archaeological Museum of Durrës offers visitors a comprehensive look into the rich history of Albania's oldest city. Located in Durrës, this museum houses a significant collection of artifacts that span from ancient times to the medieval period.

    The museum's strengths lie in its diverse array of exhibits, which include well-preserved Roman mosaics, Greek and Roman sculptures, and various pottery items. Many visitors appreciate the chronological organization of the displays, which helps in understanding the historical progression of the region.

    One of the highlights frequently mentioned is the large collection of artifacts from the ancient city of Dyrrachium, which gives insight into daily life during different historical periods. The Roman amphitheater exhibits are also noted as particularly impressive.

    However, some visitors have pointed out areas for improvement. The labeling and information provided for some exhibits could be more detailed and available in more languages. Additionally, the museum's layout and lighting in certain areas may benefit from updating to enhance the overall visitor experience.

    Despite these minor drawbacks, the museum is generally regarded as informative and well worth a visit for those interested in archaeology and Albanian history. Its central location in Durrës makes it easily accessible for tourists exploring the city.
