The Ennejma Ezzahra palace has undergone restoration and rehabilitation work since its acquisition by the Tunisian State in 1989. However, it is the first time since it was opened to the public in 1992 that the palace is closed to Visits for the implementation of such works. The suspension of public visitand for a relatively long period (five months from 1 January 2017), does not mean the cessation of the activities of the various departments of the Centre for Arab and Mediterranean Music, including the museum activity.
