Timgad Museum
Musée de Timgad
An archaeological museum beside the site entrance, famous for its large, intact Roman mosaic floors and one of North Africa's most important mosaic collections.
The museum sits right by the entrance to the Timgad ruins. Its galleries display dozens of large mosaics lifted from the city's houses and baths, with motifs including river gods, sea gods, hunting scenes, geometric patterns and floral wreaths, whose colours are remarkably well preserved. In the courtyard outside are sarcophagi, tombstones and inscribed stones. Tickets are sold separately and are inexpensive. Flash photography is not allowed inside, and some galleries may close for maintenance. It is best visited after the site, and takes about an hour.
