  Nice ethnographic collection and great history. I particularly feel blessed to see the well preserved imperial bedroom of His Majesty Emperor Hailesilassie I, which he used it till 1960 before moving to his new palace after a coup attempt.

  This is a good museum with a collection of quite a number of cultural exhibitions in one place. Some of Ethiopia’s more than 80 tribes are well described with in the Museum. It operates 6 days of the week except on Monday. Opening hours are 8:30AM-5:00PM. It is located inside the main campus of Addis Ababa University, and the building used to serve as Emperor Haileselasse living palace.

  Very good museum about the life and rituals of Ethiopians earlier and today. Museum building is the former Emperor's residence and now belongs to the university campus.
  Entrance fee for foreigners around 4 USD equivalent (status June 2017). There are free English speaking guides offering tours through the museum, highly recommended to take such a guided tour (due to limited English written explanations).

  A good place to start if you are interested in Ethiopian history and culture. Addis isn't know for its outstanding museums, rather it is known for its mix of cultures from every region and you get a glimpse of this here.

  アジスアベバ大学のキャンパス内にある、とても素敵な博物館です。エチオピアの歴史・文化について学びたいならここは外せません。注意ですが、図書館は博物館とは別個で、こちらは許可が無いと利用出来ません。非常にいい雰囲気の空間なのでぜひとも見て欲しいのですが……0Fのカフェもおすすめです。ただしCafeteriaという店名ですが食事は出来ません。食事なら素直に南の食堂へ行きましょう。20ブル前後で十分な量の食事が出来ます。
