Went as a part of Viator tour. I learned that I didn't know anything about Ethiopia. Worth visiting, as it has good exhibits and historical context.

I had an amazing time, everything is well written and explained. Super proud to having such a rich history, and to knowing, how so well cultured, our ancestors were.

Very interesting museum located within Addis Ababa University. Very helpful to learn more about Ethiopian culture/tradition and history. You can do yourself the visit. The visit fees is 200 Ethiopian Birr for foreigners and photos are allowed.

Its one of the historic places to be. I enjoyed my visit there. The building is aesthetically constructed and preserved, descriptions of all the material are available. For those whom are studying on/ about Ethiopian modern history, tradition, culture its a place worthy of being visited. In general its a place where you can refresh and refill your mind with history and knowledge of the great Ethiopia.
