Opened in March 2019 in Addis Ababa's Mekanisa district, the Zoma Museum is the vision of anthropologist Meskerem Assegued and artist Elias Sime. The 12,000-square-meter space features art on mud walls, multifunctional houses, a large garden showcasing Ethiopian plants, a library, a restaurant, and a playground. This unique museum combines Assegued's extensive experience and Sime's expertise in sculpture and architecture, making it a notable cultural site.

    The place is more of a green garden than a Museum. It's a very amazing place to relax and have time with Nature. I loved it. A simple comment: need to work on the service for the food and beverage outlets.

    "Zoma Museum", I believe this place isn't accurately named. It's more of a garden than a museum but regardless it is a really nice place to visit. During my visit I got to see a variety of native plants, birds and some mammals. The cows definitely steal the show. The whole place is beautiful, calm and peaceful. The serene environment makes you feel at peace while you look around. There are some really interesting architecture worth exploring. I don't know how and what the buildings are made of but it has a beautiful appeal. There are many food courts where you can get snacks, drinks and meals. The meal I had was super and I want to believe it's same with everything else. You definitely have to pass by this place when you're in Mekanisa. Entrance was 150 Birr at the time I went there. Overall I loved the place. It has an amazing vibe and people who love quiet places in nature will love it.

    It's not a museum, just a small garden and plantation. It's nice and calm for a little walk among trees and water. Don't expect too much to see, just a couple of old turtles and cows. The entire walking around, it takes less than 15 minutes. There are cafe and souvenirs shop.

    This place is really amazing garden, ideally fantastic location for those who loves garden. The sound of birds, water flows sound, different plant species are really making the best place. There is also special house design, and it’s built by mud. There’s also souvenir shops, food and beverage service, sometimes there will be small handmade craft bazaar.

    I love this place! The most tranquil place in the heart of a super busy city. The trees and the gardens just relax you. So many native plants including fruit trees and coffee plants...I enjoyed the cafe for almost 3 hours before coming back to the crazy traffic refreshed. :) Check out their K-6 school that is next door where the kids are exposed to gardening and raising animals and connecting them to nature. An awesome concept and I hope for the success of this unique place.
