Don't miss this little museum. It is so quirky, and its photographs of the tribal customs are amazing, so are the childrens' toys

If you want to know about the cultures of the local folks, this is worth a full day visit. I will not recommend going with a guide as they speed you up, and there are notices all over to read. The negative part of the visit is that the lights do not all work, so you miss a lot. Solution,... More

The Ethnological museum is located in the University of of Addis Ababa compound and at the Institute of Ethiopian Studies ( every taxi driver knows where it... More

Getting a bit of a refresh as we were there. Plenty to see and an essential overview for any tour of the historic north.

Having just visited the National Museum the day before, my expectations were fairly low. Fortunately, I was really surprised by the quality of the collection.

Great museum located in the former palace of Emperor Haile Selassie.Good collection and a wing of the museum show Haile's private quarters which remain largely unchanged since decades. Especially his bathroom is very cool and also his collection of gifts received from foreign dignitaries. Worth a visit, have been there twice in 6 months.

I learnt a lot about Ethiopia's history which I didn't know much about before so because of that I spent over an hour reading everything and digesting everything I was learning. You also learn about the different regions in Ethiopia and their different costumes, crafts and traditions. It's worth a visit.

A quirky museum in a pleasant, green location. There's not much in the way of signage to help you make sense of what is on display, and the museum itself is in pretty poor repair. But is costs virtually nothing to enter and you get to see the tiny bed, and really not so regal, bed chamber and bathroom of... More

Not exactly well maintained although the exhibits give a glimpse of this country's extensive history. Believe that with more maintenance and funding - this museum could excel/
