Hibbon Museum

The Hippone Museum is one of the most important archaeological and historical landmarks in the city of Annaba. It was established in 1950 to become one of the city's key tourist destinations.

The Hippone Museum comprises three exhibition halls, two halls for the protected artifacts, a library containing over 3300 books and 640 rare and unique titles, a reading room, and many significant historical artifacts. These include statues, silver and brass utensils, and numerous other historical relics.

While exploring the hall dedicated to statues, which is considered the most important hall in the Hippone Museum, visitors encounter several statues of deities that date back to the early AD years. These statues reflect the Roman ideology of creating deities representing various aspects of human life such as intelligence and strength. The hall's wall features a mosaic depicting the god of the sea and oceans, dating back to the 4th century AD. Beneath the mosaic lies a marble tomb from the 1st century AD, suggesting it belonged to a wealthy woman named Flavia Polis, a gift from her husband. The hall also contains another mosaic dating back to the 4th century AD, narrating the story of the prophet Noah (peace be upon him). Additionally, visitors can find a commemorative bronze military suit attributed to Julius Caesar.

In another hall of the Hippone Museum, there are numerous mosaic paintings, one of which dates back to the Abbasid era.

In the third hall, visitors discover various artifacts from different life periods that serve as witnesses to diverse ways of life. These include oil lamps, vials, jewelry, and various other tools.
