Althiburos Room
This was originally the music room of the palace. It has an ornate painted ceiling in Italian style and two galleries. One of them, linked by a staircase with the harem of the palace, enabled the princesses of the Bey's family to attend concerts and other performances; the other, to the left of the entrance, was for the orchestra. From the balcony opening off this room there is a view of the 15th century mosque in front of the Museum.
