Musée Bardo- le 20 avril

I really like the musée Bardo a lot! Like I've already mentioned, I find it amazing to see things that have been around for SO long. What's more, it was really cool to see these things conserved so well. I saw mosaics that were still colored and you could still see the mythological stories. It was really interesting! Then I asked if the Romans believed in their mythology the way we believe in our religions today. I would like to know what future generations will think about us and our religious practices... I think it'll be rather interesting. Especially when we start wars in the name of religion all the while preaching about peace. Today, another one of the students on the trip told me that Sweden is the country with the least amount of crime, and some researchers think that it might be because of the lack of religious practitioners.

We also learned that the museum was in the process of reorganizing itself. They want to make it so that the Tunisians can better understand their history. Today, the museum is more or less for the academics who research the topics of the museum. I found this to be a little bizarre because at the round table discussion, the students told us that about 80% of the Tunisians had a university education. I don't understand why these people wouldn't go visit the museum. They are the ones that make up the community intellectual... All the same, I am happy that the museum thought enough to change the way the expositions, so that everyone can understand what they're trying to conserve.
