The national Bardo Museum in Tunis has reopened after a refurbishment

The national Bardo Museum
The museum, in an old Beylic palace dating back to the XIXth Century, retraces Tunisia’s history from Prehistory to the contemporary and contains the largest collection of mosaics in the world. 

There is also a collection of Punic jewels as well as a gallery of Roman sarcophaguses and Christian baptisteries. 

One of the highlights is a Roman ship’s cargo wrecked off the coast of Cape Africa, facing the town of Mahdia, with its Hellenistic Greek art master pieces: bronze pieces, marble sculptures, and furniture.
