Vincent Poon :: Bardo Museum
 
Bardo houses a large collection of Roman mosaics gathered around Tunisia and is considered to be one of the best in the world. (used to be the largest too until Turkey's Zeugma Mosaic Museum opened a few years ago)
 
Beside the vast mosaics collection, the museum itself was converted from a former palace and was itself a true masterpiece.
