Located in the zaouïa Sidi Amor Abada, which houses the tomb of this marabout master blacksmith who lived in the early nineteenth century. The museum gathers objects of this enigmatic character and venerated by the population (which attributes him gifts and supernatural powers). In addition to the exhibition of these objects, which are often oversized, reflecting the megalomaniac character of the marabout, the building is topped by seven ribbed domes. Although this architectural element is quite common in Kairouan, it is exceptional that it is used in such large numbers.

mausolée de sidi amor abada
Édifié vers 1872, le monument renferme le tombeau de Sidi Amor Abbada al-Ayari, marabout qui a vécu durant la première moitié du XIXe siècle. Exerçant la profession de maître forgeron, il fut un personnage hors du commun faisant l'objet de respect et de vénération de la part de la population — qui lui attribuent des dons et des pouvoirs surnaturels — ainsi que des souverains husseinites qui l'ont comblé de faveurs, notamment Moustapha Bey et Ahmed Ier Bey. Autour du marabout décédé vers 1855 se sont tissés de nombreux contes et mythes dont certains sont restés dans la mémoire collective jusqu'à nos jours.
