The Tizi Ouzou Regional Museum of the Algerian Liberation Struggle preserves and passes on the memory of the War of Independence, with a particular focus on the people and events of Kabylia. Alongside its collections of objects, it gathers personal testimonies: the voices of veterans are an essential part of its historical holdings.
Objects and oral history archives
Collecting campaigns documented in the press bring together weapons, cartridges, clothing and other objects used during the war. These items are complemented by recorded interviews with male and female veterans of the liberation struggle. This combination allows history to be explored at several levels, from everyday objects to accounts of battles and individual life stories.
Recording witnesses addresses an urgent need: to preserve memories that might otherwise be lost when those who hold them die. The resulting archives are not intended solely for exhibitions; they also support research and efforts to pass this history on to future generations.
Activities beyond the galleries
The March 2026 programme illustrates this active role: touring exhibitions, documentary screenings and tributes recall figures such as Larbi Ben M’hidi, Mustapha Ben Boulaïd, Amirouche and Si El Houas, as well as battles fought in the wartime Wilaya III region. These are events scheduled for specific dates, not a permanent programme.
The museum is also involved in activities at the Krim Belkacem and Abane Ramdane house museums. For visitors, this means several complementary places of remembrance rather than a single institution. A visit to the regional museum can be followed by visits to these houses, allowing for separate journeys and checking visiting arrangements with each site.
