Then dictator Enver Hoxha wanted the bunker near the capital Tirana to guard against Soviet Union or US attacks.
PM Edi Rama showed several Western ambassadors around the 106-room, five-storey complex on November 22.
Enver Hoxha’s regime built up to 700,000 bunkers before he died in 1985. The pro-Chinese regime was toppled in 1990.
“We have opened today a thesaurus of the collective memory that presents thousands of pieces of the sad events and life under communism,” Edi Rama said in a speech in the bunker’s 200-seat hall.
The bunker has been opened to the public ahead of Albania’s World War Two liberation day on November 29.
The government plans to use it as a tourist attraction and an exhibition space for artists.
