Since 2004, a computer-based inventory programme was initiated based on the “Virgil” database provided by the Museographic Development Division (I.N.P.). The digitization of the glass-plate negatives collection which constitutes the main proof of the museum’s history and the state of Tunisia’s cultural sites is nearing completion.

During this historical phase of the museum, a partnership with the Louvre museum was concluded for the period between 2009 and 2014. It concerns the restoration and the presentation of the Roman sculptures collection of the Bardo museum. This agreement provides for the exchange of exhibitions between the two institutions.
Exhibitions entitled "Memory à la carte" and "Amber Magic" were presented to the public on the occasion of the commemoration of the 120th anniversary of the Bardo national museum in May 2008.

Collections of the national Bardo museum travelled to Karlsruhe (Germany) within the following exhibitions: "Hannibal ad portas" in 2004, "About Sejnane, a country of a millenary tradition" in 2005, and "About the Vandal heirs of the Empire" in 2009. The collections were also exposed in Los Angeles within the exhibition "Stories in Stone, conserving mosaics of Roman Africa" in 2006 and in the Arab World Institute in Paris within the exhibitions entitled "The Phoenicians and the Mediterranean" in 2007 and "Lights from Kairouan" in 2009.
