Tunisia's Bardo Museum is set to reopen less than a week after gunmen shot 22 people, mostly European tourists, in the capital Tunis.

The museum officials said that they wanted to show the world that the extremists "haven't achieved their goal." The reopening is expected to be accompanied by a concert and a public rally, reported the BBC.

The attack, claimed by Islamic State (IS), has stoked concerns that it will take a toll on Tunisia's vital tourism industry.

While two of the gunmen were killed by the security forces during last Wednesday's attack, a third is on the run, officials said.

The attack was dubbed the deadliest in Tunisia since the uprising which led to the overthrow of long-serving ruler Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali in 2011.
