Art galleries exhibition spaces foundations and cultural centers Tunisia

Hacker of the public space since the 1990s, the street artist and mosaicist Invader has invested the island of Djerba since 2019. The artist has laid 58 pixelated mosaics forming a pathway to discover the island in its every corner. Each one is inspired by the place where it is placed, illustrating the details of local culture: a watermelon on a market, a sheet of brick on a restaurant, a jar in Guellala, an authentic village of potters or the greatest singer of the Arab world, Oum Kalthoum. To be discovered in Houmt Souk and on the island!

This amazing complex brings together a museum, a medina of the Thousand and A Nights and the Dar Zamen with its sounds and sounds, a gallery that revives scenes of Tunisian life, contemporary or old, festive or daily. The Thousand and One Nights in the Medina show the Diamond Valley, Ali Baba and the forty thieves. You then moved to an extraordinary world, from the belly of the cobra to the medina of Baghdad, frightening caves in the palace of the Sultan. We emerge dazzled, a little lost after being dragged back in childhood and had a full eye. The period costumes worn by the museum's staff bring a further note of truth to these reconstructions, which go through Bedouin tents and traditional Turkish cuisine. For more charm and excitement, it is advisable to visit the museum at night. In the lobby there is a small courtyard and a nice café. In another cafe, on the floor overlooking the site, you can enjoy a mint tea in a fairytale setting. Mr. Cheraït (Maire Mayor) recently opened a new space by condemning the museum's restaurant. The sound and light Show Dar Zamen (entrance 6 DT) reproduces the period dwellings of the zone and the Ksours De, it evokes 3 000 years of country history, in the Disney way!

Centre dedicated mainly to ceramics, a collection of zelliges tiles. Very rare pottery from Guellala and Nabeul and many other riches of Tunisian crafts that you will find in the rooms of this ancient residence of character. From the terrace, the view is superb.
