In this huge museum you will find statues from Punic times, church mosaics, mosaics from Bulla Regia, Carthage, Dougga, El Jem and other places throughout Tunisia. It is great to visit this museum at the end of your trip; having been to all these places gives you an idea of where to place the different mosaics that are on display in the museum.
That´s what me and my wife did. And we can assure, the museum is a great place to visit (http://www.planetware.com/tunis/le-bardo-bardo-national-museum-tun-tc-tntb.htm).
And for those who love Mosaics... this is the Mecca!!

Visit Instructions:
Because of the vastness of many of the "non-localized" sites (Gobi Desert, Great Wall of China), waymark owners are encouraged to allow visits that reflect different perspectives and experiences.
Localized waymark sites (Structures, Landmarks, Businesses) should reflect standard waymarking visit criteria (Logs & photos).
