THE PHOENICIANS : MUSEUMS AROUND THE WORLD

Rather Phoenician in the eastern Mediterranean area, rather Punic in the west, the museum’s collections remain generally small: since very few buildings remain, they gather mostly sarcophagi, stelae, inscriptions, votive items and everyday objects.

Around the world, a few major museums like the Louvre, the British Museum and the Metropolitan in New York display important collections.
