It is in an ancient residence where Barbarossa lived, transformed into a home for girls and then hotel de ville by the colonial administration, which today we invite the Museum of Folk Arts and Traditions. Despite the disappearance of beautiful pieces scattered at Independence, the collections of carpets, pottery, embroidery and sumptuous jewels of the Aurès and Du remain interesting and enter the museum also allows to see the interior of a Casbah residence, even though it is not the most beautiful. In the rooms we also discover some nice illuminations and miniatures, a little forgotten art in Algeria, as well as a "Eugénie Salon" of the Empress who stayed here in 1860. The museum hosts artistic expression workshops for the Enfants children and temporary exhibitions of photos or painting.
