A directory for discovery, not just a count
This directory brings together national museums, site museums and Moudjahid museums commemorating Algeria’s resistance and liberation history, as well as house museums and documented local collections. Each entry explains what makes the place worth visiting and provides the practical information available. Some small collections are accessible on request: their inclusion here does not guarantee daily opening.

Before you go
Check opening times, admission charges and visiting arrangements locally. Contact details are shown only when published by an identifiable source; their inclusion does not mean that opening has been confirmed by telephone. Museums and neighbouring monuments are listed separately to avoid double-counting.
