Dar Jellouli Museum, Folk traditions museum in Medina of Sfax, Tunisia
The museum occupies a three-story building with a central marble courtyard surrounded by T-shaped rooms displaying regional artifacts and exhibitions.
The structure began as an Andalusian refugee residence in the 17th century before Farhat al-Jalouli, a military commander and gun dealer, purchased it.
The ground floor presents scenes of 18th-century daily life, while upper levels contain traditional costume collections and Islamic calligraphy exhibitions.
The museum receives approximately 900 visitors annually and maintains regular exhibition hours with guided tours in multiple languages.
The interior features white marble flooring, blue ceramic wall coverings, and carved stucco door frames reflecting traditional Tunisian architectural elements.
