Gjon Mili Museum
About This Museum
People make the pilgrimage to this small but mighty museum to step into the brilliant, frozen world of Gjon Mili, the Albanian-American pioneer who made light dance and captured motion like no one before. You'll find yourself mesmerized by his iconic collaborations with Picasso, where the master's drawings come alive in trails of light right before your eyes. The energy of mid-century artists and celebrities, from a leaping Nureyev to a thoughtful Einstein, fills the rooms with a palpable sense of creativity. It’s an intimate and surprisingly moving look at the man who literally painted with light.
Collection Highlights
The stunning 'Picasso Draws with Light' series is the undeniable centerpiece, alongside dynamic portraits of dancers and a fascinating look at his technical process with stroboscopic photography.
Visitor Information
It's tucked away on a residential street in Korçë, so keep an eye out for the sign; it feels like discovering a wonderful local secret rather than a crowded tourist stop.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a traditional Korçë villa, the building itself is a charming example of local architecture with whitewashed walls and a tranquil, almost home-like atmosphere.
