National Museum of Ethiopia.
National Museum of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa (must see)
The National Museum of Ethiopia is the primary museum in Ethiopia.
The current National Museum of Ethiopia grew from the establishment
of the Institute of Archaeology, which was founded in 1958.
The museum houses the nation's artistic treasures as well as many of
the most precious archaeological finds such as the fossilized remains
of early hominids. Currently, the National Museum of Ethiopia has four
main exhibition sections. The basement is dedicated to archaeological
and paleoanthropological sections and exhibits hominids. The first floor
contains objects from ancient and medieval periods, as well as regalia
and memorabilia from former rulers, who include Emperor Haile
Selassie. The second floor show art work in a chronological order, from
traditional to contemporary works while the thrid floor comprises a rich
ethnographic art facts.
4 Zoma Museum
zoma museum, absolutely thrown away by the beauty of the garden, and the architecture. This is a beautiful arboretum with a variety of colorful trees and plants. It has lovely flowing water and multiple pathways to wander. Birds flock to the flowers of nectar and the seeds and there is a choice of two patio areas for drinks and snacks. It is peaceful to just sit and relax. One would never know one is in a crowded city.
5 The Africa Unbound Museum
The visit to the Africa Unbound Museum was such a unique experience. I highly recommend this museum to all art lovers and especially those who are thinking deeply about Africa's place in world history.
