National Museum of Antiquities and Islamic Art

The collections in this underrated museum rival those of most museums in Europe. I’m giving it five stars, though more detailed explanations would’ve been appreciated at least for the Roman exhibits. There is also not much information in English, so you’ll get more out of the experience if you know French. For 200 DA you actually get two museums for the price of one, as the Islamic and Roman exhibitions are housed in two separate buildings. The ticket office (caisse) is also in its own small separate place directly from the entrance.

The museum is an excellent place to learn about part of the era of the Islamic countries that ruled in Algeria and North Africa. You can see educational tools and Qur’anic manuscripts, war tools and military clothing, old clothes and accessories for decoration, coins used by the population in several Islamic eras and coinage tools. The place is worth a visit.

There is a lot to see and discover in this museum, also there is a parking area inside for those who look for

The museum has preserved plenty of Sculptures and artifacts that range from the Roman empire, all the way to the Golden Age of Islam. The museum is well kept and clean, has beautiful water fountains, islamic calligraphy, and Pre revolutionary buildings. Make sure to have a French or Arabic translator as none of the artifact descriptions are written in English. The building is near public Transit as well.

This museum is in need of more art pieces and connection/context between the pieces shown. It is seemingly a random collection of pieces found/borrowed. The museum could use more resources. It takes around an hour to finish viewing the exhibition.

Beautiful historical place to see ancient ruins and sculptures highly recommend it, also it’s near a calm park so you can rest there, you can also visit bardo national museum on your way it’s not far from there have a nice time 👋

If you want to travel back on time in history, you must visit this amzing museum in downtown Algiers, you can get there by taking ETUSA bus from audin, and then the bus satation is situated in oposite of it

Good museum to visit
