One of the best museums that you can find in Tunisia. It's not so big but has a great exhibition with real size dolls and objects, arts, clothes of Berber tunisian culture. Don't miss this spot in Sousse Medina

Entrance to the Ethnological Museum and a photo permit cost a total of about 5 Tunisian dinars (1.5 e). It's not a big museum, but it's interesting to see the customs and clothing that characterize them. I definitely recommend it.

The ancient city of Sousse, listed on the World Heritage List, is housed in its castle (the Kasbah), the new archaeological museum of this city. The large vaulted hall, located at the entrance to the museum, was dedicated to providing a glimpse into the history of the Sahel and its most prominent features, during the period ranging between antiquity and the Islamic era. The area of ​​the museum halls, located under the floor of the largest courtyard of the Kasbah, reaches about two thousand square meters, and is covered with natural and artificial lights that contribute to highlighting museum collections and create exhibition climates, which designers sought to create in the various wings. The museum's collections consist of mosaic paintings, sculptures, funerary furniture, statues, obelisks, stone votive monuments, and funerary furniture. They come from various archaeological sites in the Sahel region in ancient times. The collection of mosaic floors dating back to the Roman era was displayed either on the floor of the hall, at a low level compared to the level of visitor movement, or on existing stands. This group is one of the largest in the Mediterranean. These mosaic panels tell of vibrant colors and attractive artistic formations beliefs, games, artistic activity, especially daily life in the Roman era. Three other halls, illuminated in darkness, display the remains associated with funerary rites during the lobby / Punic, Roman, and Late Antiquity periods. The lobby / Punic hall houses the famous group of funerary and funerary jars that were found at the Temple of the Toffe in Sousse (formerly known as "Adrium" or Hadrimatum) as well as funerary furniture that was found in excavations inside the Kasbah. Along with a group of pagan funerary obelisks, the hall of the Roman era displays a group of light red pottery with embossed decorations, which were discovered in Sousse and in the adjacent archaeological sites, as well as small figurines of pottery, among which is the famous statue of "the woman of the idol." » It ends up in the Christian hall, in which a collection of mosaic paintings, obelisks and funerary inscriptions, which were found in the underground basements in the city of Sousse, are considered the most important in the ancient world after those in Rome. In the middle of this hall is the famous mosaic, which represents a funerary dining table. Upon leaving the museum, visitors can enjoy the promenade inside the castle and panoramic views of the ancient city of Sousse.
