Traveling through the local halls easily fits into any route and promises discoveries for every taste.
A special place in the museum palette of the city is occupied by the Museum of Traditional Clothing, which presents a rich collection of national costumes, embroidery and accessories reflecting the multilayered cultural influences, and the Habib Bourguiba Museum, located in the Mausoleum of Habib Bourguiba in Monastir: in one of the rooms on the second floor personal belongings, photographs and memorial items related to the life and activities of a famous politician are collected. These expositions give contrasting but complementary views - from life and crafts to fateful historical milestones. In the vicinity there are small local collections and ethnographic specimens, which should be included in the extended route to better understand local traditions.
Museum life in Monastir is full of temporary exhibitions, thematic projects and educational programs: expositions are regularly updated, temporary collections come to the city, and curatorial projects complement permanent collections. In the high tourist season, excursion routes and special shows are especially active, and museums offer author's excursions and family programs. Follow the poster and book participation in advance to get to the most interesting events and not to miss the imported expositions.
Come to Monastir to see its museums with your own eyes and make an unforgettable travel route. The best way to feel the depth of the expositions is to use the services of a private guide: local guides will offer individual excursions, select the optimal routes, tell little-known stories and make the visit bright and meaningful.
