The small site museum in Old Mila is described as a garden beside the Sidi Ghanem Mosque, where archaeological objects are gathered. The documentation associates it with the OGEBC and distinguishes it from a museum housed in a conventional exhibition building.
The statue known as Milo and the garden’s stone artefacts
The most discussed object is a white marble statue called Milo, depicting a seated figure. The report dates its discovery to 1880. The interpretation that it is Numidian in origin is attributed to an archaeologist and remains a hypothesis, not a certain identification to be repeated without qualification.
The same text describes two carved sarcophagi, Roman fountains, mosaic work and stones bearing inscriptions or epitaphs. Some objects come from earlier excavations, while others were returned by private individuals. Together, they offer insights into several aspects of Mila’s material history: sculpture, funerary practices, the uses of water and writing on stone.
A lapidary space with clear limits to its documentation
The report stresses the contrast between the inventory of objects, which the managing body stated had been completed, and the lack of display and interpretation facilities observed at the time. This description records an earlier state of the site; it proves neither that information panels are absent today nor that the site is closed.
When planning a visit, the useful landmark is the garden adjoining Sidi Ghanem. No museum-specific telephone number is established in the captured sources. This place should not be confused with the Slimane-Bentobbal Museum, which is devoted to the history of the struggle for independence.
