Bardo National Museum, Museum in Algiers, Algeria

The Bardo National Museum occupies a 17th-century palace constructed in Andalusian and Ottoman architectural styles, with marble fountains and blue ceramic tiles.

The palace, built by exiled Tunisian Prince Hadj Ben Omar, transformed into a museum in 1930 to display prehistorical and ethnographic collections.

The museum exhibits the skeleton of Tin Hinan, the spiritual ancestor of the Tuareg people, along with artifacts discovered in her tomb.

The museum opens Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with facilities including public restrooms and parking areas.

The building incorporates various spaces including sewing rooms, large baths, gardens, courtyards, and a grand reception hall called the Diwan.
