About Museum of Medieval Art
The museum was established in 1980 in traditional buildings in Korça, which have the status of monuments of culture, not very far from the main boulevard. It displays 7,500 artifacts and art objects made of stone, wood, wool, silver and other metals, as well as an array of folk costumes and other objects showing the region’s ancient history, traditions as well as the originality of Korça’s urban culture. About 1,200 of the artifacts belong to the bronze and iron ages, while about 6,000 are icons painted from the 13th and 14th centuries to our days, such as Shën Kolli (Saint Nicholas), Shën Mëhilli (Saint Michael), Shën Thanasi (Saint Athanasius).

The excellent collection of 6,500 medieval and modern icons from Southern Albania is worth a visit. It's only 200 Albanian Lek income, that's about 1 euro and 50 eurocent converted.
So much to see and nice preserved for almost no money. Go and see if you're in Korca.
