Dar Gmach

Tunisia


Next door to Le Rocher Bleu cafe, this tiny two-room museum in a traditional house showcases artefacts of local Berber heritage, personally and lovingly curated by Aida Gmach Bellagha, who left Tunis to get back to her family's roots in Takrouna. Pay your entrance fee at the cafe; it's likely that someone will have to come and unlock the door for you.
