One of the most important tourist attractions in Tunisia, especially in the city of Bardo, which is just 4 km from the green Tunis, the Tunisian capital, is the Bardo National Museum.
It is a museum of relics found from excavations during the 19th and 20th centuries that date back to different historical periods of Tunisian history. The museum has gained Arab and international fame so that it is considered the second most important museum in the world in Romen mosaic art. The museum was established more than 100 years ago in an old palace and therefore it is considered the oldest museum in Tunisia.
