EL JEM Museum - El Jem city of Tunisia

Archaeological Museum
The Archaeological Museum in El Jem is a Tunisian museum located in El Jem, the old city of Thysdrus. The museum opened its doors on 26th October 1970 and was remodeled in 2002.

The museum is adjacent to many ancient Roman theaters - the latest being El Jem Theater, the largest and best preserved amphitheater, which has been included in the World Heritage List.

The museum was built on the ruins of a Roman house, restoring its spatial organization: a central courtyard surrounded by a roof-covered courtyard that opens to the rooms. There were exhibits - sculptures, mosaics, ceramics, etc. - from excavations carried out in Thysdrus and on the outskirts of the city.
