Oum El Bouaghi Moudjahid Museum traces the history of the War of Liberation through archives, objects and representations of regional memory. Algerian Radio dates its opening to 2011.
Documents, objects and individual lives
The report published in October 2020 describes photographs of fighters and martyrs, National Liberation Army correspondence and documents relating to sites associated with the Revolution. Historic weapons, military clothing and flags help connect these archives with the material conditions of the struggle.
The collections include donations from resistance fighters and families. This provenance gives the objects a personal dimension: their documentary value also depends on the stories, names and circumstances that accompany them.
Models, paintings and writings
The museum holds scale models, including a representation of Larbi Ben M’hidi’s house, as well as paintings devoted to the history of resistance and the Group of 22. The source also mentions newspapers, books and manuscripts, including a Qur’an attributed to Abdelhamid Ben Badis.
The presence of a model of a house should not be taken to mean that the house itself can be visited as a separate museum. Likewise, the collection sizes reported are figures from 2020, not an up-to-date inventory. The cultural map confirms the institution’s presence in Oum El Bouaghi; it does not provide a telephone number or visitor programme precise enough to publish here.
