Overview
The Cloud, or Reja, stands as a testament to Tirana's modern transformation, located in front of the National Gallery of Arts. Originally commissioned for London's Serpentine Gallery in 2013 and moved to Tirana in 2016, this unique art installation was designed by Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto.Constructed from a delicate network of white steel bars, The Cloud resembles a giant, ethereal cloud, offering a semi-transparent canopy that provides shelter while connecting visitors to the surrounding landscape. The structure covers 350 square meters and features stepped terraces, creating a flexible, multi-purpose social space. Visitors are encouraged to climb on top or find a seat underneath, providing a unique perspective of the city.Since its arrival in Tirana, The Cloud has become a vibrant hub for both locals and tourists, serving as a modern art space that hosts various cultural events and exhibitions. During the warm summer evenings, it transforms into an atmospheric stage for musicians and theater performances. The Cloud has become a symbol of Tirana's evolving identity, blending modern innovation with the city's rich heritage.
