A real eye opener, the lengths that the Albanian Communist Party went to to spy on all its inhabitants. This is the house from which the spying and eves dropping was controlled. Entry 700 lek (they only take cash, in leks)

Whoa! This place is eerie, but amazing with it. You must go! The building known as The House of Leaves (so called because of the clambering plant covering its facade) was a clinic but is now a Museum of Secret Surveillance. Apparently, the newest museum in Albania and educates you to one of the darkest periods of the country’s history. Located in the center of Tirana, in front of Orthodox Church; ‘The Resurrection of Christ’, and near the National Bank, the building was the Central Directorate of the Secret Service from 1944 to 1991. It leaves the tourist asking so many questions and wondering how locals must have been so scared and paranoid. Intriguing and informative and a place to definitely visit. It was in the Lonely Planet guide and the National Gallery of Art is permanently closed. I highly recommend this place a visit

Certainly worth a visit. Tries to capture the invasiveness of the state and scale and darkness of how it operated. Lots of information and devices on display. We went mid morning, no queues and it's free to enter

Comprehensive, detailed, and diverse explanations of the government’s secret surveillance and repression of its citizens during the socialist/communist regime. Illuminating historic photos and films. Some of it unbelievable in terms of level of suspicion, surveillance, and brutality.

Shocking to learn the extent to which the state invigilated its citizens. Definitely worth seeing. My downside is that it had repeated a lot of information we've learned at BlokArt2 hence the price of 700 lek felt a bit extortionate comparing to 400lek for BlokArt2

Fascinating and disturbing look at the surveillance done by the Albanian Secret Service over many decades in the 20th Century. Lots of artifacts including surveillance photos and videos, maps, the actual equipment etc. While there are descriptions in English, most of the artifacts were unlabeled. It would have been helpful to have more English signage. Also, if you already know about the period, it may not add a lot to your knowledge.
