Bardo Museum

The Bardo Museum is most notable for its world-class mosaic collection that fills its 50 halls and galleries.  These mosaics come from ancient Tunisian sites such as Carthage and Dougga and are perhaps the finest collection in the world.  The mosaics include mosaics from the Early Christian (4^th-7^th century) period, the Punic Era, and the Roman Era.  Highlights include the 2^nd century God Neptune and the Four Seasons mosaic, and the 3^rd century mosaic of the poet Virgil.  The former is considered a masterpiece of artistry and is in excellent condition.  The latter is similarly in good shape and is the only known surviving portrait of Virgil.
