A lavish showcasing of the artistic and cultural holdings of Algerian museums. "[The] museums of Algeria found themselves receiving collections that embraced an appreciable part of universal ancient and medieval history, while colonisation encouraged, in particular, the introduction of classical and modern European paintings, including works signed by great names of this art. All these treasures today allow Algeria to have a remarkable museum heritage, and the subject of this work is to give it greater visibility than it presently enjoys."
