The Compendium of Cultural Policies and Trends has recently produced a report on Albania’s situation regarding the impact of Covid-19 to the country’s cultural sector, due to the closing of cultural and leisure venues and cancellation of all activities. As stated on this report, on May 4th, a few art spaces opened — for example Bunk’Art in Tirana — while maintaining physical distancing regulations, and on May 18th (International Museum Day) the Ministry of Culture opened most of the museums for free. Some cultural activities including most businesses, excluding large scale events, could be resumed for the first time after being closed for 71 days. During May, maintenance work on heritage sites continued in order to be ready for the opening by end of the month and the Ministry of Culture declared May the Museum Month. On May 28th, the National Art Gallery opened its doors to visitors as well and the Museum of Leaves opened a call for photo submissions for “Albania and Corona Exhibition- Your story is part of the history”, which documents and presents personal stories from Albanian citizens.
