National Museum of Bardo

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.

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.

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!

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.

3 Things that interested me:
1. History
2. Mosaics
3. Tiles
All of which were very impressive. The museum is new and modern. Warning though, in the Giftshop they want to hagle

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"

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.

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.

Great museum with super clean spacy toilets. Entrance was 13 TND per person. Unfortunately there was no audio guide but there are description plaques in Arabic, French & English. I only saw stairs to reach the higher floors.
The mosaiques are simple stunning and there is so much more to discover!
Make sure to drop by the Café in the back for some tea and/or coffee.

It is definitely a museum worth visiting. The ancient mosaic collection is not inferior to Italy at all. So much to see......Unfortunately, the transportation is very inconvenient, no public bus to be there, and it is not easy to get taxi once you go back to city center.

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.

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

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

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