A grim topic: the bunkers and Enver Hoxha's fear of an invasion. Fear of Yugoslavia, Greece, Italy, of course, the Soviet Army, and the USA. One bunker was planned for every four Albanian inhabitants, so 700,000 were to be built; about 170,000 were actually built. In the government bunker ("Bunk.Art 1"), you learn a lot about the liberation in 1944, Hoxha's rise to power, the bunkers and the (planned) life in them, indoctrination, etc. A well-done exhibition.
