PM opens former dictator’s villa as new art hub

Tirana, January 16, 2025 — Albania’s former dictator Enver Hoxha’s residence has been transformed into a dynamic arts space, now named "Vila 31 x Art Explora." The villa, once a symbol of the past, is set to host local and international artists for cultural events and exhibitions.

Prime Minister Edi Rama celebrated the building's transformation, praising the architects who turned the space from a relic of history into a modern creative hub. "This is no longer a house of ghosts," Rama said, noting that the renovation was completed faster than anyone expected.

The opening marks a new chapter for the villa, which will now serve as a platform for the arts, blending Albania’s rich history with its cultural evolution.
