@discoveringduneya: The National Museum of Antiquities and Islamic Arts in Algiers, founded in 1897, is the oldest museum in Algeria and one of the oldest in Africa. Located within the Park of Liberty, the museum showcases a diverse collection that spans over 2,500 years of Algerian history. Its two main sections focus on classical antiquities and Islamic art. The classical section contains artifacts such as sculptures, mosaics, and pottery, uncovered from archaeological sites across Algeria. The Islamic section, housed in a neighboring pavilion since 2004, includes coins, manuscripts, ceramics, and ornamental art from different Islamic dynasties that ruled over Algeria and the broader Maghreb and Near East. The museum reflects Algeria’s rich cultural heritage, from its Amazigh origins through Roman and Islamic influences, preserving a wide array of artistic and historical treasures. #algeria #algerie #pourtoii #fyypp
