The Museum of National Memory is located in the southwestern outskirts of Tunis, Tunisia, near Béja. Established in 2001, it focuses on the period of French colonization and Tunisia’s struggle for independence. The museum features modern audio-visual equipment and is designed to educate visitors about the sacrifices made by martyrs during the colonial era. A visit typically lasts around one hour, with access available to the public. However, it is worth noting that the museum has faced criticism for its cleanliness and accessibility, with reports of it often being closed outside official visits.

Inside the museum, visitors can expect to find exhibitions dedicated to the resistance against colonial rule, including artifacts and multimedia presentations that highlight key events between 1881 and the 1950s. The site also includes a memorial commemorating those who lost their lives fighting for Tunisia’s independence.
