About
Korte feiten: Descending into dim concrete corridors feels like stepping into a Cold War thriller, where preserved offices, propaganda posters, and personal items reconstruct daily life under constant surveillance. You’ll wander through dozens of narrow rooms and immersive multimedia displays that pair eerie silence with recorded testimonies, turning political history into a strikingly human experience.
Hoogtepunten: Walk down the low concrete corridors where faded red propaganda posters cling to the walls and dozens of handwritten letters, official files and black-and-white photos tell stories from the Sigurimi era of 1944–1991, the stale scent of dust and metal making the past feel tactile. Pressing an original 1970s telephone receiver in one exhibit plays recorded testimonies from survivors, a quiet, human sound that turns the bunker’s silence into a chorus of whispered confessions.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes and a light jacket, many areas have low ceilings and cool, concrete floors.
- Start at opening to avoid large tour groups that arrive midday, especially on weekends and in summer.
- Photograph the central propaganda hall and original control rooms for the most dramatic shots, but be mindful of other visitors in tight spaces.
- Pick up or download the map at the entrance and allow time to move slowly through narrow corridors; skip rooms with long queues if you are short on time.
