Çanakkale Wars Mobile Museum in Tirana

The Çanakkale Wars Mobile Museum, which features artifacts from the Çanakkale Wars that determined the fate of World War I and offers digital displays, has opened its doors to visitors in Tirana, the capital of Albania.

The Çanakkale Wars were a conflict between the Entente Powers and the Ottoman Empire, fought both on land and sea. The Çanakkale War led to the demise of the Russian Tsardom, forcing Russia to withdraw from the war.

The Mobile Museum, located in Skanderbeg Square, showcases artifacts from the Çanakkale Wars, where thousands of Entente and Turkish soldiers lost their lives, and features digital displays.

Having previously opened its doors to visitors in Shkodra in the north of the country, the mobile museum will travel to Elbasan after its visit to the capital, Tirana.

The mobile museum meets visitors on a route determined as part of an organization that started in 2021, under a project carried out by the Çanakkale Wars Gallipoli Historical Site Presidency.

After visiting various cities in Kosovo between March 12-19, the mobile museum will remain in Albania until March 28, and then continue its journey to other Balkan countries.
