Museum of Traditional Dress

If you want to get acquainted with the national flavor of Tunisia, then be sure to visit the Museum of traditional clothing, located in the resort town of Monastir. In fact, this institution is a museum of folk traditions and decorative arts, but still most of its exposition is occupied by national clothes. Here you can see the traditional costumes of almost all the religious concessions that are presented in Tunisia. Of particular interest to tourists is a beautiful collection of wedding costumes, sheathed with precious stones.

Some pieces of clothing are depicted on canvases, and some are presented to the audience in their original form and stored in special glazed containers. The costume collection not only shows the history of Tunisian clothing from the beginning of the nineteenth to the end of the twentieth century, but also gives a general idea of the evolution of traditional costumes, as well as the technique of sewing them. The Museum of Traditional Clothing in Monastir is not trivial and deserves your attention. Here you can take great photos and buy gifts for the whole family in the nearby souvenir shop.
