Half day Bardo & Medina

A partir de 25 € / per person - 1 jour(s)

Our guide will meet you at the hotel reception to take you to discover the wonderful mosaic collection.The Bardo Museum is now one of the most important museums in the world. Its reputation is due to the quality and the variety of its archaeological pieces, jewels resulting from a Tunisian history rich of several millennia and several civilizations. However, the building, too, does not lack interest.

 

Built in the second half of the 19th century, this space was intended to serve a palatial purpose rather than a cultural function; however, when it became a museum in 1882, and was named Alaoui Museum - after the sovereign of the time, Ali Bey (1882-1902) - it was fortunate to be used for a purpose that made it a high place of culture and civilization. In 1899, the authorities of the time added a second space, the small palace that would henceforth house the collections of Islamic art. 

Because of their architectural quality, these two palaces are today an integral part of the national museum.
