Musee Du Patrimoine Traditionnel

The city of Djerba in the Republic of Tunisia is one of the jewels of Tunisian and Mediterranean tourism. But its fame is not only due to the beauty of its natural landscapes and the purity of its air, or to the pleasant calm surrounding it. Its charm is the result of a rich past and cultural and social richness spread over centuries and generations through distinctive traditions and ways of living that gave the island a strong and unique identity. This heritage is threatened today, in a transitional society subject to the transformations of its time. Therefore, it is necessary today to introduce this rich heritage to the younger generations of Tunisians, as well as to the various visitors to the island from tourists. Thus, the Museum of Traditional Heritage in Djerba, which was founded in 1970, finds a purpose for its existence and is preparing to play a role in defining this valuable stock. Visiting the museum is an invitation to discover the history and heritage of Djerba.
