Very interesting for the city
Nice museum. The entry from outside looks like old, but worth every piece that it has inside. I think is a special museum for this city and unrated!

Treasure in Korce
A gem! The Museum of Oriental Art is a small and varied Museum that houses the Collection of G Dimitri Boria, an American-Albanian. The Museum shows the collection he amassed from his travels while working overseas post WWII as a photographer. On display are beautiful pieces of furniture from Korea, the United States and Europe, art from Japan, China, Tibet & Russia, Indonesian & African masks as well as photos of General McCarthur, President Truman, etc. taken during WWII. There are many English-language Captions and where we had questions the director, Jolinda, was more than helpful in explaining what she knew about them. Please visit!
