- Algerian painting galleries: The core of the museum, with canvases by Algerian artists such as Mohammed Racim, whose miniatures borrow from Persian and Ottoman tradition, and later modern painters.
- Orientalist works: Nineteenth-century scenes of North Africa by European painters. They are beautiful and also loaded, which makes them worth reading critically.
- European masters rooms: French and other European paintings, a welcome surprise to find in North Africa, and quiet enough to study slowly.
- Sculpture collection: Pieces including works associated with Rodin, displayed in a hall that shows how widely the museum collected.
- Asian and Japanese art: A small section of prints and objects that adds range to the visit and breaks up the Western rooms.
- Building and terraces: The 1930s concrete and stone

- Building and terraces: The 1930s concrete and stone architecture, with a cascading staircase, reads as a work of art in its own right.
- Jardin d’Essai du Hamma: The botanical garden next door, with huge fig trees and long alleys, a natural cool-down after the galleries.
