Djerba Traditional Heritage Museum, Heritage museum in Houmt Souk, Tunisia.

The Djerba Traditional Heritage Museum contains exhibits showcasing local customs through costumes, pottery, agricultural tools, and fishing equipment across multiple gallery spaces.

The museum occupies a former mausoleum from the 12th century, which was expanded in the 18th century by Djerba governor Hmida Ben Ayed.

The exhibition halls display traditional Jewish wedding attire, Islamic manuscripts, and local handicrafts, representing the diverse communities of Djerba island.

Located on Avenue Habib Thameur, the museum offers guided tours in Arabic, French, and English, with information panels accompanying each exhibition section.

The museum building combines elements of a historic zaouïa with modern architectural features, including a dedicated space called kobbet el khyel, the ghost dome.
