The structure opened as the Enver Hoxha Museum, originally serving as a museum about the legacy of Enver Hoxha, the long-time leader of Communist Albania, who had died three years earlier. After 1991, following the collapse of Communism, the Pyramid ceased its function as a museum and for several years was repurposed as a conference centre and exhibition venue, as well as being rebranded with its current name. There are many rumours for the pyramid to be repurposed or maybe even torn down, to replace it with a national assembly.
