Nabeul - Archeological Museum
In Avenue Habib Bourguiba in Nabeul, diagonally opposite the railroad station, is the small but very interesting Archeological Museum.
In the entrance hall are a historical map of Cap Bon and a plan of ancient Neapolis.
Room I (to the left of the entrance hall) displays material of the Punic period (seventh-fourth century B.C.), including pottery, oil lamps, jewelry and coins, mostly from excavations at Kerkouane (see Cap Bon, Tour of the Peninsula). In the corridor are finds of Punic and Roman material from the Bir Bou Rekba area.

Also of interest are the clay statues of the Carthaginian deities Baal Hammon and Tanit, showing that the Punic religion lingered on even after the Roman conquest.
