Staff were very nice to recieve us, it was very hot and there was no AC and the water fountains were dry. I would say it a beautiful place if it is well maintained. Other than that the parking situation is also a problem. But It has great potential

Beautiful place to immerse in the charm and creativity of algerian architecture and decor. Entrance is very cheap and the museum is well kept and takes about 40 minutes to explore.
