Nabeul Museum, Archaeological museum in Nabeul, Tunisia
Nabeul Museum is an archaeological museum in the town of Nabeul, near the northeastern coast of Tunisia. It occupies a modest building where finds from Neapolis and other sites around Cape Bon are displayed in a clear, unhurried sequence.
The museum opened in 1984 to bring together objects found during digs around Cape Bon. Most of the collection comes from the ancient city of Neapolis, whose Roman mosaics and earlier Punic remains trace a long settlement before and during Roman rule.
The Punic terracotta statues from the sanctuary at Thinissut show how local worship mixed North African and Mediterranean forms. Nearby, the fish salting hall connects the museum to the everyday trade of the coast, where preserving fish shaped daily work and food habits.
A visit here is easiest when the day is hot, because the rooms offer shade and cool air. The small size means you can see the main cases without rushing, and most labels help you get oriented quickly.
Three mosaics from Kelibia were added to the collection in recent years, showing scenes not found in the older displays. One hall is reserved for a fish salting workshop, a rare reminder that this coastline once depended on preserving and shipping fish across the Mediterranean.
