In 1916, during the Austro-Hungarian occupation of much of , three Albanian officers opposed plans to send ancient sculptures from Apollonia to Vienna. According to Albania’s National Historical Museum, Kamber Bënja, Bexhet Manastirliu and Abaz Taushani were court-martialled and sentenced to death for their resistance. Antiquities from Apollonia can still be found in Vienna’s Kunsthistorisches Museum, though we cannot link those objects to this particular incident. The three men’s story helped inspire Albania’s National Cultural Heritage Day, marked today, September 29.
