Muzeu Oriental "Bratko"
About This Museum
Tucked away on a Korçë boulevard, the Muzeu Oriental 'Bratko' is a delightful surprise, born from the passion of diplomat Dhimitër 'Bratko' Filipi. He amassed this eclectic treasure trove during his travels across Asia in the mid-20th century. Stepping inside feels less like visiting a formal museum and more like exploring the crowded, fascinating study of a seasoned collector. You'll find everything from exquisite silk kimonos and fearsome samurai armor to delicate Chinese porcelain, all displayed with a charmingly personal touch.
Collection Highlights
The collection is wonderfully diverse, but the Japanese section truly stands out with its complete set of ornate samurai armor standing guard. Don't miss the intricate ivory netsuke toggles and the serene display of Chinese blue-and-white porcelain vases, each piece telling a story of faraway places.
Visitor Information
It's located at Bulevardi Fan Noli 57, easy to find on a stroll through the city. The museum is compact, so you can have a rich experience without needing to dedicate an entire day to it.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a handsome, early 20th-century Korçë townhouse with a classic white-washed facade and characteristic shuttered windows, it blends seamlessly into the city's historic streetscape.
