The National Museum of the Bardo, is an archaeological museum that contains, among others, the richest collection of Roman mosaics in the world, all in perfect condition. It is the most important Tunisian museum and at the same time the oldest museum in the Arab world and in Africa. It was inaugurated on 7 May 1888. #Tunisia

Unique museum, with artifacts from all ages and religions in Tunisian history. Its maze-like design adds to the experience, and differentiates it from the traditional more linear museum visits.

Having lived in Tunisia for three months not long ago, I felt a little ashamed for not having made any kind of cultural sightseeing. So, on this more recent visit, I tried to make up for the opportunities missed previously and went straight to the Bardo National Museum. I must say I was impressed. The history of Tunisia is traced fairly comprehensively and I especially enjoyed the ancient departments, including a good number of interesting mosaics and some fine sculpture. The halls are very well kept and incredibly quiet, a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle going on just outside the museum doors. A perfect way to spend a couple of hours contemplating history.

I’ve waited a few years for this museum to open. I was thrilled that it was open. It is still in the process of being completed. It is wonderful. Well explained through out in English. A truly interesting place. The ticket was 15 Denars. Also little gift shops. I got a few lovely things. I recommend visiting.

The most astounding collection of mosaics I've ever seen. The scale and variety are beyond imagination. A bit of AR in the mix and a decent effort of keeping the visitors not just entertained but also educated.

Rich place to learn about the history of Tunisia. There is a coffee corner in the terrace where you can enjoy the traditional decoration and drinks/cakes/sandwiches. The prices might look expensive but totally normal for a museum price, I guess! The giftshop is cool. And I would recommend you take a photo of the map before you start your tour.

Bardo National Museum, Bardo, Tunisia is an amazing composition of the rooms that belonged to the greatest rulers in Tunis. This enthralling experience is located to the west of Tunis city. If you are passionate about exploring the treasures of ancient cultures, this will give you a breathtaking insight into this. Furthermore, many history lovers get delighted with the amount of Carthaginian and Roman relics protected under this wonderful institution. Going to the Bardo Museum in spring will be the best time for your visit. You are able to visit during the summer and winter seasons, but please be aware the temperature is not as comfortable.

The museum is famous for its extensive collection of Roman mosaics, which is one of the largest in the world. These mosaics were primarily excavated from archaeological sites across Tunisia, such as Carthage, Dougga, and Utica. The collection includes intricate mosaics depicting scenes from daily life, mythology, and Roman history. The mosaics are impressive in size, covering huge walls in some rooms. Entrance ticket is 13 Dinars. There are toilets, a wardrobe and a couple of souvenir shops. In March 2015, the museum was the target of a terrorist attack in which gunmen opened fire on tourists visiting the museum, resulting in the deaths of several individuals. The attack drew international attention and raised concerns about security in Tunisia.

Amazing experience!! Ranked among the 10 most beautiful museums around the world, the Bardo Museum gathers one of the largest mosaic collections, and offers its visitors an historical journey through the different civilisations. The staff is very kind and welcoming, and the museum is very well maintained.

Premier collection of grand Roman era mosaics, Phoenician statuary and artifacts, but for the present time no Phoenician glass head beads. I will have to go to the Metropolitan Museum in NYC to see them on display.

good one to visit alone or with friends if you're ancient treasures & people of the old world, it wasn't my best visit in Tunis but i liked it though! don't think I'm gonna visit it again, nothing to explore more than what I've seen. products there are very expensive. free internet available & working very good.

A very pleasant museum, with lots of history! I felt a little lost at first, as it didn't seem like there was a set path. You're pretty much free to wander as you please, but there is a certain chronological order to follow. If you'd rather have a guided tour, it can also be arranged. I ended up going at it alone, but I'd recommend being accompanied if you'd like to get a better understanding. All exhibits have placards next to them to inform you on what's what. There's even bigger placards with more historical context. So solo tours are feasible, but still, I feel like I missed out on a richer experience. Overall, it was great! A must-go if you're ever in Tunis.

Really fascinating and well-done museum. Lots of different time periods examined here and presented nicely. Only had an hour before closing, otherwise would've easily spent 2 hours here. Labels and information is given adequately. The layout and numbering of the rooms is quite confusing, in terms of figuring out which room you're actually in (and also how many rooms are apart of that time period/exhibit). Can get here by metro line 4.

Very impressive museum. The mosaics are stunning. Entry ticket is 13 tnd per person and you can mostly visit the whole museum in 90min. Well organized, clean with bathrooms also. Recommended!

Just an amazing place. Impossible to capture in photos, but an intensely decorated space with extensive information about the history, techniques and methods of conservation of materials there. Also a nice cafe in the courtyard to get something light to eat if you're there for several hours, as I was. If in Tunis, it's an absolute must-see, especially for anyone interested in antiquity and ancient civilizations of this region.

(Translated by Google) A must-see museum stop for lovers of Roman artifacts and mosaic collections that are unparalleled. The tragic terrorist attack and its memory may provide another sad apropos for the visit. Not a full day is enough to roam, but it does provide serious insight into invaluable finds not seen elsewhere. It is a bit static, but with most of the art treasures presented, nothing else is possible. Recommended destination. (Original) Kötelező múzeumi megálló a párját ritkító római leletek és mozaikgyűjtemények kedvelőinek. A tragikus terrortámadás és annak emléke egy további szomorú apropót szolgáltathat a látogatáshoz. Egy teljes nap sem elég a bebarangoláshoz, viszont komoly betekintést nyújt máshol nem látható, felbecsülhetetlen értékű leletekbe. Kissé statikus, de a bemutatott műkincsek többségével más nem is lehetséges. Ajánlott célállomás.

(Translated by Google) The National Bardo Museum is a jewel of Tunisian heritage. The museum brings together one of the finest and largest collections of Roman and Carthaginian mosaics in the world. All its treasures are on display in a former palace of the Bey of Tunisia. A visual slap and a journey through time. I highly recommend you to visit this vestige of Phoenician and Roman culture. (Original) Le musée national du Bardo est un joyau du patrimoine tunisien. Le musée rassemble l'une des plus belles et des plus grandes collections de mosaïques romaines et carthaginoise du monde. Tous ses trésors sont exposés dans un ancien palais des Bey de Tunisie. Une claque visuelle et un voyage à travers le temps. Je vous recommande vivement de visiter ce vestige de la culture phénicienne et romaine.

C'est l'un des plus importants musées du bassin méditerranéen et le second musée du continent africain après le musée égyptien du Caire par la richesse de ses collections[1]. Il retrace l'histoire de la Tunisie sur plusieurs millénaires et à travers plusieurs civilisations par le biais d'une large variété de pièces archéologiques. Abrité dans un ancien palais beylical depuis 1888, il offre un prestigieux et magnifique cadre à l'exposition de nombreuses œuvres majeures découvertes depuis les débuts des recherches archéologiques dans le pays. Initialement appelé musée Alaoui (المتحف العلوي), du nom du bey régnant à l'époque, il prend sa dénomination actuelle de musée du Bardo après l'indépendance du pays même si la dénomination est attestée avant cette date. Le musée rassemble l'une des plus belles et des plus grandes collections de mosaïques romaines du monde grâce aux fouilles entreprises dès le début du xxe siècle sur les différents sites archéologiques du pays dont Carthage, Hadrumète, Dougga ou encore Utique. Certaines des œuvres exposées n'ont pas d'équivalent, telle la mosaïque « dite de Virgile ». Plus généralement, les mosaïques du Bardo représentent une source unique pour les recherches sur la vie quotidienne en Afrique romaine. De l'époque romaine, le musée renferme aussi une riche collection de statues en marbre représentant les divinités et les empereurs romains retrouvées sur les différents sites notamment ceux de Carthage et Thuburbo Majus. Le musée possède aussi de riches pièces découvertes lors des fouilles de sites libyco-puniques dont principalement Carthage, même si le musée national de Carthage a la vocation d'être le musée de ce site archéologique majeur. Les pièces essentielles de ce département sont les masques grimaçants, les statues de terre cuite et les stèles d'un intérêt majeur pour l'épigraphie sémitique, la stèle du prêtre et l'enfant étant la plus célèbre. Le musée abrite également des œuvres grecques découvertes en particulier dans les fouilles du navire de Mahdia, dont la pièce emblématique reste le buste d'Aphrodite en marbre, rongé par la mer et pourtant toujours d'une beauté émouvante. Le département islamique contient, outre des œuvres fameuses comme le Coran bleu de Kairouan, une collection de céramiques en provenance du Maghreb et d'Asie Mineure. En raison de l'ampleur des collections, il ne saurait être question dans ce cadre de présenter ici l'ensemble des pièces exposées. Afin d'augmenter les capacités d'accueil et d'optimiser la présentation des collections, le musée fait l'objet d'une vaste opération qui devait s'achever initialement en 2011 mais ne s'achève que courant 2012 du fait de retards liés à la révolution tunisienne. Les travaux concernent l'augmentation des surfaces d'exposition par l'ajout de nouveaux bâtiments et un redéploiement des collections. Le projet tend à faire du musée un pôle majeur pour un développement culturel de qualité, afin que le visiteur puisse apprécier les pièces artistiques déposées. Le 18 mars 2015, un commando terroriste islamiste attaque le musée et prend des touristes en otage dans le bâtiment. L'attentat, qui fait 22 morts dont 21 touristes étrangers, est revendiqué par le groupe État islamique.

I used to go there when I was a pupil. Simlpy amazing. I recommend it to those who want to see the biggest collection of mosaics in the world. Especially Carthaginian and Roman ones.

I'm sure the collection is excellent, but the place is currently closed - I tried to visit several times over a month, and no luck. It appears that the military is currently using the building. My biggest complaint is lack of communication - not on their website, Facebook page, or here on Google is any notice or explanation given.

Hands down the best museum in Tunis and Tunisia to that extent. The quality of the mosaics are amazing the way they are displayed for everyone to interact with. The have the largest collection of roman mosaics in the world all housed under one roof. It’s free for international students to enter.

Excellent museum with very interesting pieces from various antique periods. There are not so many tourists visiting the museum so you can really take your time and enjoy the exhibition. One star less because of a lack of explanation on some master pieces. This can be definitely and easily improved!

I wasn’t going to let a severely sprained foot prevent me from visiting the Bardo museum so I drugged myself up and hopped around the collection - let me tell you that it was so worth it! Wow - amazing! Words fail to describe the extensiveness, intricacies and detail of mosaics on display. Every room that you go to causes you to gasp in disbelief further - amazing

Oh my goodness I am humbled by the historic artefacts present in The National Bardo Museum. The numerous mosaics that decorate this large, multi floored space is a show piece of the Punic and Roman empires. Everything is presented beautifully, descriptions of artefacts and historic moments are presented in Arabic, French and English. Mosaics aside, The National Bardo Museum building is ornate, a masterpiece of Islamic artwork. Please be aware that the museum closes at 16:30, you’ll need at least 2 hours to respectfully absorb the presented material.

If you love history and archeology, you'll enjoy this museum. There are some amazing pieces that are well preserved. It could be organized better, such as a chronological arrangement of each exhibition. It's not that expensive, around 15 Tunisian Dinar, and there are discounts for students. It requires at least two or three visits to really see all that it has to offer. Wouldn't necessarily recommend it for younger children.

Amazing !!! Treasure of a museum with so many mosaics.. allow at least half a day for a visit

This place is beyond incredible. You could spend hours just looking at all of these pristine ancient mosaics and artifacts that depict everyday life for both the elite and the common. It was very warm inside. It is not a place to wear shorts, as you would feel very out of place and seen as disrespectful. The staff at the ticket desk speak Arabic and French, but manage to help those that speak English.

Extraordinary collection of mosaics and sculptures. Worth a visit!

Fantastic museum with plenty of artifacts and mosaics. Some really interesting facts about the history of Tunis. I would say that there isn't enough signage, but I'm comparing it to the ones I usually see in London. Much better than other museums I've been to in far wealthier countries.

(Translated by Google) In 1888, the Bardo Palace was transformed into a museum. The museum has extensive historical and archaeological collections. The collection of mosaics - real masterpieces and uniques - arouses the greatest interest. There you will be honored that Tunisia is the custodian of priceless exhibits of world importance: Hellenic, Roman, Christian periods. The topics are also very diverse, both domestic and religious. And the mosaic with the poet Virgil is the pinnacle of this art. On three floors you will find unique ceramic collections, collections of Phoenician art, Egyptian art and what not ... At least 3 hours to make sense of both the halls of the palace and its collections. (Original) Двореца Бардо през 1888 г. се преобразува в музей. Музея разполага с обширни исторически и археологически колекции. Най-голям интерес поражда колекцията от мозайки - истински шедьоври и уникати. Там ще се обредите, че Тунис е пазител на безценни експонати със световно значение:елински, римски, християнски периоди. Темате са също много разнообразни както битови така и религиозни. А мъзайката с поета Вергилий е връх на това изкуство. На три етажа ще откриете и уникални керамични колекции, колекции на финикийското изкуство, на египетското изкуство и какво ли още не... Поне 3 часа, за да осмислите както залите на двореца така и колекциите в него.

It is one of the most important museums in the Mediterranean basin and the second museum on the African continent after the Egyptian museum in Cairo due to the richness of its collections. It traces the history of Tunisia over several millennia and across several civilizations through a wide variety of archaeological pieces. Housed in a former beylical palace since 1888, it offers a prestigious and magnificent setting for the exhibition of many major works discovered since the beginnings of archaeological research in the country. Initially called the Alaoui museum, named after the reigning bey at the time, it took its current name of Bardo museum after the country's independence even if the name is attested before that date. The museum brings together one of the most beautiful and largest collections of Roman mosaics in the world thanks to excavations undertaken at the beginning of the 20th century on the various archaeological sites of the country, including Carthage, Hadrumète, Dougga and Utica.

Need to visit "Topaze creations", it's a must! Amazing products with an outstanding and personalized touch 😎

superb museum. when they say thousands of mosaics they mean it they are everywhere. few decent ones and then some fillers. but you walk around on the fillers and slightly more ordinary ones while you gasp at the huge mosaics on the walls with superb detailing and its like that room after room after room. absolutely worth a visit

Beautiful museum with exceptional mosaics and tiles

take in the splendor of roman africa, the mysteries of carthage and the elegance of islamic decoration all in one museum at tunis’s bardo museum. the country’s top museum has a magnificent, must-see collection that provides a vibrant vision of ancient north african life. the original, glorious husseinite palace now connects with a stark and grammatical contemporary addition, doubling exhibition space. highlights are a huge stash of incredibly well-preserved roman mosaics, rare phoenician artifacts and early islamic ceramics.

Still closed. Their website hasn't been updated since at least 2019. The place is surrounded by security/police and barcades. We had a tour guide from an earlier tour tell us it would be opening on the 28th but when we asked the police at the entrance he said nahhhhh not a thing.

WOW! This is an incredible museum. There are amazing mosaics, pottery, and statues. It's definitely worth paying for a guide to take you around. There weren't a lot of visitors while we were there, so we felt like we had the place all to ourselves. They have a lovely memorial for those killed in the attack in 2015. You can still see bullet holes by the stairwell.

This place has changed a lot , for the better . I loved every corner and every piece of history there is . Definitely worth the visit

Finally opened after 780 days. Excellent exposition of Roman and Byzantine art, especially mosaics, sculptures. Another section is devoted to the history of Islamic art, including historical manuscripts. If you are visiting Tunis, this is definitely one of the places: "must see"

I don't know how anyone could give this less than 5 stars. Absolutely breathtaking art/history. I recommend making sure that your camera is fully charged, as you won't want to miss one photo opportunity here. Breathtaking, beautiful, and intriguing. You can feel the history speaking to you as you walk among it. Highly recommend going here if you are in Tunis!

I loved it! I went a year ago and I had so much fun with my friends while learning about our history. The stuff is welcoming and the building itself is clean and well-kept. Overall it was an amazing experience. I will definitely go back soon.

This is a must see museum in Carthage. The mosaics are very large and detailed. Homer in the odyssey are displayed here. As well as other Moorish and Roman history. Very well preserved. Takes a couple hours to see all the rooms. The café is in the back of the museum in a small courtyard if you’re looking for cold drinks or tea.

Well worth going

For those interested in history n archeology must visit this place mosaic of ancient times displayed all around

(Translated by Google) Larijia or Paula Regia (from the Latin: Bolla Regia, called the royal monarchy, called the monarchy because it was the capital of the Numidian king Massinissa) is an archaeological site and historic city located near the city of Jendouba in the northwest of Tunisia. Paula Regia's roots date back to the 4th century BC, but they became important only after the Carthaginians seized control of them. The city was conquered in 203 BC by the Romans before it became 156 BC, the capital of the Roman king Massinissa, an ally of Rome. The city experienced a period of stagnation during the Byzantine period, gradually abandoned by its inhabitants and the disappearance of its features from the second millennium. From the middle of the 19th century, the first excavations were carried out and several monuments and monuments were uncovered throughout the 20th century. The site currently contains several features (form, archaeological theater, baths), most of them dating back to the Roman era.

Good

Highly impressed with the collection of Roman mosaics. A must visit if you are in Tunis if you are a mosaic lover and appreciate art. Our guide, who was funny and quirky, explained everything clearly and it is a good idea to hire a guide unless you like to explore on your own. Excellent toilet facilities and friendly staff. Apart from slightly pesky hawkers at the entrance, it was a memorable trip to the best museum in Tunisia.

Obviously one of the most important museums in the world for ancient history and art, thanks to its superb collections; sad to say, it is truly depressing to see how the place is currently run and maintained. The staff is at best uninterested and unhelpful, chattering away in the exhibition rooms as if this were a fast food joint, down to almost rude, in the museum shop, which looks rather like a banal souvenir outlet for tourists. The restaurant is ridiculously overpriced. The audioguide was not operative, we were told, without explanation. Upkeep was below every standard, with rooms unexpectedly closed and ancient statues lying about. The superb quality of the art and historical artifacts in this museum is, to sum up, in sharp contrast with the unworthy way in which it is presented and preserved.

It's one of wonderful museum in Tunisia, with lot of mosaic collections.

Great museum. 13 TND is the cost

Love the mosaics, the statues and the old palace. Hate how confusing it is to go around. Nothing is clear, the map doesn't help and the descriptions of each mosaic, statue or relic is not even close to enough. Not a big fan of the fact that you can "walk" on the mosaics either. It just seems all kind of wrong. All in all, I think more thought should be put into making it more accessible for people who are there to visit without a guide.

Besides the coffins hall, all areas were open and it wasn't crowded at all besides some tourists. The necessity of a guide depends if you are familiar with Carthage history or not. It's free for Tunisian students as well.

Museum with huge collection of very old mosaic and more antic relicts. Something amazing. Specially when you have a good guider.

Best museum where I have been. Lots of old pieces from the romans in Tunisia. Lots of mozaïek art on the floor and walls. Very very interesting museum.

Très jolie musée dans un très beau pays d'Afrique du Nord. J'aime beaucoup l'histoire de l'empire de Carthage et le général Hannibal.

(Translated by Google) This is an amazing museum. These are collected here masterpieces of art and hard handmade work. And the complex itself looks harmonious and well-groomed.

Такие собраны здесь шедевры искусства и тяжелой ручной работы. И сам комплекс смотрится гармонично и ухожено. Я был здесь за несколько дней до страшного теракта. Этот музей стал местом побоища.

Awesome collection of mosaics, the museum is big and owns a large collection. I particularly loved the Bey era where you can see the throne room, the wives rooms and the basement. They have mosaics from the phenician era up to the christian era, you can appreciate the difference between them. At the entrance you have a huuuuge mosaic of 150 square meters ( approximately)

(Translated by Google) A beautiful museum rich in magical exhibits. This is where we visited in October 2020 with Itaka. I highly recommend a lot in my life, but I have not seen a beautiful museum for a long time. (Original) Piękne muzeum bogate w magiczne eksponaty.To tutaj byliśmy zwiedzać w październiku 2020r z Itaką.Bardzo polecam dużo w życiu zwiedzałam ale przepięknego muzeum dawno nie widziałam .❤

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful museums in the world thanks to its collection of Roman mosaics unique in the world, thanks to the excavations undertaken at the beginning of the twentieth century on the various archaeological sites of the country including Carthage, Hadrumète, Dougga or Utica. Some of the works on display have no equivalent, such as the “so-called Virgil” mosaic. More generally, the Bardo mosaics represent a unique source for research on daily life in Roman Africa. From the Roman period, the museum also contains a rich collection of marble statues representing the Roman deities and emperors found on the various sites, notably those of Carthage and Thuburbo Majus. (Original) L'un des plus beaux musées du monde de par sa collection de mosaïques romaines uniques au monde, grâce aux fouilles entreprises dès le début du xxe siècle sur les différents sites archéologiques du pays dont Carthage, Hadrumète, Dougga ou encore Utique. Certaines des œuvres exposées n'ont pas d'équivalent, telle la mosaïque « dite de Virgile ». Plus généralement, les mosaïques du Bardo représentent une source unique pour les recherches sur la vie quotidienne en Afrique romaine. De l'époque romaine, le musée renferme aussi une riche collection de statues en marbre représentant les divinités et les empereurs romains retrouvées sur les différents sites notamment ceux de Carthage et Thuburbo Majus.

(Translated by Google) The museum is an extraordinary collection of rare and ancient mosaics from ancient Rome and some finds from the Carthaginian civilization. It is a very large museum and very well thought out from the point of view of the route. In addition to the magnificent works, it is possible to visit some rooms that reconstruct ancient Tunisian-style houses, with lamps, mosaics and other typical things. To conclude the visit, the memorial to the 2015 attack, including the police dog. In two rooms remained the shots of the AK47 on the mosaics and glass cases. The memory must be preserved and I'm glad they didn't restore those shots. (Original) Il museo è una straordinaria collezione di mosaici rari e antichi dell'antica Roma e alcuni reperti della civiltà cartaginese. E' un museo molto vasto e molto ben congeniato dal punto di vista del percorso. Oltre alle magnifiche opere, è possibile visitare alcune sale che ricostruiscono delle antiche abitazioni in stile tunisino, con lampade, mosaici e altre cose tipiche. Per concludere la visita, il memoriale all'attentato del 2015, incluso al cane poliziotto. In due sale sono rimasti i colpi degli AK47 sui mosaici e sulle teche in vetro. La memoria va preservata e sono felice che non abbiano restaurato quei colpi.

Great Museum

Great! Wonderful! Very hard work.

International class museum of Tunisian history. The intricate Roman mosaics are well known as the highlight, but also there are items from Phoenician times as well as the post Roman and early Islamic eras. Very quiet when I visited due to the noticeable lack of tourists at the moment, so no need to go at the opening time of 9:30. (Closed Mondays). Easy to get to on the metro. Line 4 with its own station.

The Bardo Museum in Tunis is a cultural gem, showcasing a vast collection of artifacts from Tunisia's rich history. The museum's exhibits are displayed in a beautifully restored palace, adding to the overall charm of the experience. Among the museum's highlights are its stunning mosaics, which are considered some of the finest in the world. The collection includes objects from the Phoenician, Roman, and Islamic periods, as well as more recent pieces from Tunisia's modern history

This place is amazing!

Amazing place, definitely worth it if you enjoy ancient ruins

Amazing place, so many mosaic, clean place and well organized, absolutely worth your time

Very interesting museum, very nice collection of mosaics. It is highly recommended to visit.

Visited this museum in Tunis while in transit to another country.. museum is nice.. not much to see as expected.. but extremely disappointing visit to this country. On departure customs seized basically all the funds I had for my 5 weeks of travel.. now reading online blogs, I am not the only tourist this has happened to.. I was basically conned by officers telling me funds are returned if penalty is paid… which I a lie because the web link they provide on receipt does not work. I shall never visit this country again.. nor recommend anyone to.

Off season, November 2023... nobody there, almost deserted. The best mosaic exposition I've seen in the world. Indeed, the entire place is very well done. A bit like a maze. Compared to the total chaos and discomfort of the snarling city outside, an oasis of beauty, culture, and calm. 13TND pp admit. Parking gratis in a busted up dusty lot on the site. Don't be put off by the police presence, barricades, at the gate. Just come on in. The police are pretty bored. Leftover from the 2015 incident. Very friendly folks inside, not many English speaking visitors. WCs are clean and big. They are expecting big crowds. Paid guides if you want one. No audio guide. Descriptions on exhibits were ok. Signage good Well. Lighting and temperature were ok. Plan on 2 hours at least to walk most of it. Each room is amazing, and the time goes fast. Cafe outside on the terrace is spectacular, too. There's not much beauty in this city, so definitely come here.

Beautiful museum, glad it opened again before I went to Tunis. When you’re in Tunis you can’t miss this museum!
