HOUSE OF POLYPHONY
Specialized museum
Read moreOpened in 2022, this private museum (Shtëpia e Polifonisë) is housed in underground passageways built during the Communist period, and is entered via the very pleasant Café Te Kubé. The focus here is on the isopolyphonic songs of the Gjirokastra region, which have been listed as a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage site since 2008: English-language panels, photos, interactive videos for trying out the drone (the continuous low note that accompanies the melody) and, of course, the songs themselves, broadcast in a 48 m-long sound tunnel.
