Tunis, Tunisia - Part 4: Bardo Museum
Sunday 5th August
We took the Metro to the Bardo Museum, with its spectacular mosaics from the Roman and Punic ruins in Carthage and other areas. Some rooms were closed off, but it was easy enough to access them, with the help of guards wanting a bit of coffee money.
This is certainly one of the must-see sites in Tunis.

Busts of Roman Emperors at the the Bardo museum. The building was originally a 13th-century palace, known as the Hafsid Palace, on the outskirts of Tunis, in Tunisia. It is a large modern building full of artifacts from the Roman Empire and Islamic periods of Tunisian history. It contains a major collection of Roman mosaics and other antiquities of interest from Rome, with busts of many famous Roman Emperors, which you can see in this video.

Bardo Museum in Tunis, Tunisia
The Bardo National Museum is a museum of Tunis, Tunisia, located in the suburbs of Le Bardo.
It is one of the most important museums in the Mediterranean region and the second museum of the African continent after the Egyptian Museum of Cairo by 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 an old beylical palace since 1888, it offers a prestigious and magnificent setting for the exhibition of many major works discovered since the beginning of archaeological research in the country. Originally called Alaoui Museum , named after the reigning bey at the time, it takes its current name of Bardo Museum after the independence of the country even if the denomination is attested before that date.
The museum houses one of the finest and largest collections of Roman mosaics in the world, thanks to the excavations at the beginning of 20th century in various archaeological sites in the country including Carthage, Hadrumetum, Dougga and Utica. Some of the displayed works have no equivalent, such as the Virgil Mosaic. Generally, the mosaics of Bardo represent a unique source for research on everyday life in Roman Africa. From the Roman era, the museum also contains a rich collection of marble statues representing the deities and the Roman emperors found on different sites including those of Carthage and Thuburbo Majus.
The museum also has some rich pieces discovered during the excavations of Libyco-Punic sites including mainly Carthage, although the National Museum of Carthage has the vocation to be the museum of this major archaeological site. The essential pieces of this department are grimacing masks, terracotta statues and stelae of major interest for Semitic epigraphy, the stele of the priest and the child being the most famous. The museum also houses Greek works discovered especially in the excavations of the shipwreck of Mahdia, whose emblematic piece remains the bust of Aphrodite in marble, gnawed by the sea and yet still of a moving beauty.
The Islamic Department contains, in addition to famous works such as the Blue Qur'an of Kairouan, a collection of ceramics from the Maghreb and Anatolia.
In order to increase the reception capacity and optimize the presentation of the collections, the museum is the subject of a vast operation which was to be completed initially in 2011 but was not finished until 2012 due to the Tunisian Revolution. The work concerns the increase of the exhibition surfaces by adding new buildings and redeploying the collections. The project aims to make the museum a major pole for a quality cultural development, so that the visitor can appreciate the artistic pieces deposited.
On March 18, 2015, an Islamist terrorist group attacked the museum and took tourists hostage in the building. The attack, which killed 22 people including 21 foreign tourists, was claimed by ISIS.
The Bardo National Museum building was originally a 15th-century Hafsid palace, located in the suburbs of Tunis.
The Bardo is one of the most important museums of the Mediterranean basin, and the second largest on the African continent after the Egyptian Museum. It traces the history of Tunisia over several millennia and through many civilizations through a wide variety of archaeological pieces. Being in the former palace, it offers many major works discovered since the beginnings of archaeological research in the country. Originally called Museum Alaoui , the name of the reigning bey at the time, it has had its current name of Museum of Bardo only since the country's independence.
In addition to famous works such as the Blue Koran of Kairouan, the Islamic Department contains a collection of ceramics from North Africa and Asia Minor.
The Bardo brings together one of the finest and largest collections of Roman mosaics in the world thanks to the excavations undertaken from the beginning of the 20th century on archaeological sites in the country including Carthage, Hadrumetum, Dougga, or Utica. The mosaics represent a unique source for research on everyday life in Roman Africa. The Museum also contains a rich collection of marble statues representing the gods and Roman emperors found on various sites including those of Carthage and Thuburbo Majus.

TUNISIA - La Goulette, Carthage, Medina of Tunis, Bardo Museum, SidiBou Said.
Visit the Punic and Roman ruins at Carthage. This busy city was once Rome’s most dangerous enemy; today its ruins are scattered among the area’s more modern construction, including the enormous Roman public baths near the seashore.
The coach will then take you to the bustling Medina (Old Town) of Tunis. Next visit the Bardo Museum, which includes one of the richest collections of Roman mosaics in the world. It is also famous for major finds from the Phoenician/Roman settlement at Carthage as well as early Christian and Muslim relics.
We stop at the local restaurant for lunch and finally we vist Sidi Bou Said – one of the prettiest villages in Tunisia famous for its Moorish architecture of white houses with blue shutters covered in bougainvillea.
Moment anti-terror police storm Tunis museum
Warning: this content contains graphic images
Tunisian police have released video footage showing the moment they stormed a museum where jihadists were shooting tourists and killed two attackers.
In the video, police from the BAT - special anti-terrorist forces - are shown fanning through the Bardo Museum, where 20 tourists and a policeman were killed last week.
At one point, they enter a room where dozens of people are cowering in a corner. At another, a police dog is filmed being sent in to track down the attackers, only to be shot dead.
None of the bodies of the dead tourists are shown, though one woman spattered with blood is filmed being carried on to a stretcher, and others are seen hobbling or being escorted away.
At the end of the film, the two dead jihadists are shown. A hand grenade lies beside one of them.

At least eight people have died in a shooting at a leading Tunisian museum where a hostage situation is thought to be taking place, amid reports that shots were fired at the nearby parliament building.
Tunisian interior ministry spokesman Mohamed Ali Aroui said on Radio Mosaique that one Tunisian and seven foreigners were killed in the attack on the Bardo Museum in the capital, Tunis. He did not provide nationalities for the other victims.
As officials attempt to clarify conflicting reports of what is happening at the scene in the capital, an interior ministry spokesman said security forces were surrounding two militants holed up inside the Bardo Museum.
He added the ministry is verifying reports that the militants had taken tourists hostage.
According to reports from the Radio Mosaique radio station, three men dressed in military-style clothing are feared to have seized tourists inside the museum.
An image reportedly taken by a hostage appears to show tourists gathered inside a room filled with mosaics.
