It is the newest museum in Albanian and certainly the most intriguing one that tries to narrate to young people and to foreigners, one of the darkest periods of the country's history.

The Museum of Secret Surveillance, also known as House of Leaves is a historical museum in Tirana whose original function was that of an obstetric clinic. In the post-war years, this house was used as an investigative center, as well as the place where torture took place. It's a really nice destination to get informed more about the Albanian history and culture.

Built in 1931, this house, initially had the function of an obstetric clinic with the initiative of the prominent Albanian doctor Dr. Jani Basho (1892-1957) and directed by him. During World War II, under German occupation, it belonged to the Gestapo. In the first years after the war, this house was used as a center of investigation, ie as a place where torture took place, and it remained as such until 1948, when relations with the former Yugoslavia broke down. Beginning in the 1950s, the functions of the building changed. Here was located the headquarters of the technical-scientific branch of the State Security, which dealt mainly with electronic interception, telephone control and postal control, as well as a branch which dealt with the pursuit of foreigners until the merger of the State Security in 1991. State Security (Secret Police) was used to oppress the population, to eliminate various factions and groups within the Communist Party as well as the opposition outside it. It was used to keep the totalitarian regime afloat. For decades, legends have circulated about the "House of Leaves", the fruit of the secret and mystery with which this house was wrapped. Today, with a project of the Ministry of Culture, it has been turned into a museum which will simultaneously reveal images of the Albanian society in the conditions of a regime that aimed at total control over the bodies and souls of the people. Schedules: Monday Break Tuesday - Saturday 10:00 - 17:00 Sunday 09:00 - 14:00
