National Bardo museum (Tunisia)
The national Bardo museum is in Tunis (Tunisia). It is located in the Bardo suburb.
It is one of the most important museum all around the Mediterranean rim. It displays a large collection of archeological articles, provided by several civilizations over many centuries. It offers one of the most beautiful and greatet Roman mosaics collections, the world over, thanks to the archeological excavations undertaken in Carthage, Hadrumete and Utique. The museum also contains some Greek pieces of art, in addition to a ceramic collection from the Maghreb and Minor Asia.

History
Established by the decree of November 7th, 1882, the museum became the first institution of its kind in North Africa.  Designed by Tunisian architects, the great palace, residence of the Bey of Tunis, was built in the second half of the XIX th century, following the instructions issued by Mohammed Bey then Sadok Bey.

Buildings
In 1899, the authorities added to the great palace a second space dubbed the Small palace, built during the period 1831-1832, to host the collections of Islamic art.
Given the quality of their Islamic architecture, the two palaces were historical monuments in September 1985.Designed to meet the needs required by their new task, the buildings underwent some changes, even though they have kept their initial design. Blending the Maghrebi, Turkish and Italian architectures, the Bardo palaces contain several halls planned for a wide variety of tasks.

Collections
The museum collections were first used well before the opening of the building, and notably at the initiative of Minister Kheireddine Pacha, in order to combat the looting of national heritage.

National museum of Utique
It lies at the back of an archaeological garden where other buildings are set to accommodate the reception and warehouses.
The museum of Utique comprises two adjacent halls. Our visit to this museum starts at the right hall which displays Punic collections and leads to another hall displaying collections of the Roman era.  

The Punic hall
In this hall, we find articles deriving basically from funeral furniture recovered in the tombs of the necropole, dating back to the Punic era.

Big glass cases
They display several types of vases, covering a long epoch dating back to the 7th century BC. Next to these Punic-type vases, the most ancient of which bear a red coating, we notice the presence of vases imported from Greece or the south of Italy. An attic lecythus, bearing ‘black faces’, reproduces Achilles setting out to fight. Another attic stem glass, also bearing ‘black faces’, displays chariots flanked by panthers. The big glass case, set on the left hand side, displays three tomb pieces of furniture sometimes combining a number of statuettes of terracotta or metal articles (spatula wrapped up in fabric).

The small wall glass case  
In a small wall window case, opposite the entrance, are gathered some funeral articles: terracotta and razor hatchets. ..
The three glass cases, set on plinthes, are lined up in the middle of the hall. The first glass case displays jewels that used to be buried with the dead. Among these jewels, we can notice scarabs, finger rings and necklaces.
The second glass case reproduces the history of the Punic lamp which evolved from the open shape (like a sea-shell), considered as the most ancient shape, to the tucked-in one, considered as the most recent one.
Other lamps, provided with a closed tank and a tubular lip, were imported from Greece or the south of Italy. Some of these items were produced locally. The third glass case contains ivory or bone articles and two fragments ostrich egg- shells. 

Articles displayed on plinthes
They consist in funeral steles or incineration caskets. These articles come from Punic cemeteries and dating back to the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC…
Amphoras displayed on tripods
These are Punic commercial amphoras. Presented in a chronological order, they reproduce the conspicuous evolution illustrating the thinning down of the belly.

The Roman hall
This hall gathers the articles coming from public monuments, houses and Roman necropoles. Hanging on walls are five mosaics panels illustrating hunting scenes. The Roman hall puts on display epigraphic documents.
Several sculptures, discovered in Utique, are currently kept in the museums of Leide, the Louvre and the Bardo. Yet, the small collection of statues, displayed in the Roman hall, is of paramount importance (a marble statue of god Esculapius, another of Satyre the musician, another marble statue representing a child donning his toga, a sculpture, decorating a fountain, representing Arian asleep and a nice statue representing Herculus with his attributes.  

""""Vitrines sur socles de la salle romaine """"""

In one of the glass cases, set on the plinthes of the Roman halls, are gathered ceramic articles, dating back to the republican epoch and to the beginning of the imperial era (black-varnish plates, of the late era, ‘unguntaria’, bowl with ‘fine edges’, … The articles put on display in this glass case illustrate a golden era of the Utique history, once the considered as the capital of Roman Africa.
Other glass cases display several terracotta articles, dug out of the Roman tombs in the city. One of these articles consists in a nice ‘Licorne unicornis’ ( one single horn), with a badly preserved man riding it.
The archaeological garden of the museum: At the entrance of the garden, we could see the vestiges of small Roman baths covered up with a necropole. The bottom of a big modern tank, provided with a water-fountain, is covered with a nice panel of mosaics dominated by a marine topic and reprsenting fishing boats, the head of Ocean god and a rich marine fauna. The big panels are replete with a large variety of mosaics.

Being the first private museum to be established in Tunisia, it was founded in 1990 by Abderrazak Cheraït, mayor of Tozeur, who set up several other cultural projects, in the region, to help upgrade the Tunisian heritage.
in one sample of an upper-class house from the north of the country, ten halls put on display the traditional life, using models wearing traditional costumes, and set within a stage describing marriage ceremonies and the education system of the kouttab (basic Koranic school), the ‘hammam’ or the Tunisian cuisine.
