Tunis hosts the exhibition The Mediterranean: A Sea of Heritages between June 22th and July 12th.
The exhibition The Mediterranean: A Sea of Heritages, organised by IEMed, the Spanish Embassy in Tunisia, AECID and Alecso, offers a visual journey through UNESCO’s heritage legacy in the region. It is structured in 17 panels and 4 thematic areas (heritage of wealth and fragility, human footprint, space of interactions, a world in transition). It displays a large map with more than 300 assets of the Mediterranean inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, as well as 48 photographs of some of the most representative examples of the region’s tangible and intangible heritage.
The exhibition highlights that the cultural capital that the Mediterranean treasures in material, natural and intangible heritage can be a driving factor for sustainable development. Originally inaugurated in Barcelona in 2025, the exhibition now on display in Tunisia incorporates outstanding elements of Tunisian heritage, such as Dougga and the El Djem Amphitheatre.
The exhibition arrives in the North African capital to coincide with the annual EMUNI Conference.
