One of the countries that has gained the most tourism in recent years is Tunisia, which is earning the title of one of the most attractive destinations and where you can find many things to do and plenty of places of interest. The number of religious tourists who visit any of its cities is very striking, although there are also those who travel to Tunisia eager to learn about its great history, monuments and archaeological past.
There are several destinations that are declared a World Heritage Site, such as the Cartago Archaeological Park or the Roman Coliseum of El Djem. Today I would like to write about another aspect that is also most interesting: the museums, which make up a very important art collection with pieces of more than 3,000 years from various civilizations, and which is a delight to visit. Take note of the best museums in Tunisia:
– National Bardo Museum: It is one of the most important in the world thanks to the archaeological pieces that it houses and, especially, its spectacular Roman mosaics. In total, it has more than 1,000 works on display and it is a palace that was transformed into a museum in 1882 and later expanded, so it is spectacular.
– Sousse Archaeological Museum: It is the second most important in the country and is next to the walls of the Kasbah, a spectacular setting. It has a collection of Roman mosaics from the 2nd to 5th centuries BC, in addition to mosaics from the country's Romanesque era. There are also several catacombs that illustrate several of the passages of Christianity.
– Lella Hadria museum in Djerba: Here is perhaps the richest sample in the country thanks to the more than 1,000 historical pieces that it houses and that show how this country was from its beginnings. It reviews the influence of Islamic art thanks to works of calligraphy, miniatures and ceramics.
– Eden Palm de Tozeur Ecomuseum: it has many social and cultural elements of the desert, in addition to a very complete exhibition on the date palm and its fruits, a treasure in the area. There is also a workshop where you can discover all the delicacies that are made thanks to dates.
