This is a must to visit. The old palace converted to a university and has all the memorabilia from the emperor and African Union. It’s great to see the traditional culture and the different ethnicity that exist in Ethiopia

This museum is a collection of Haile Selassies items , outfits , house and a touch of traditional items from different regions in Ethiopia. It is inside the university so you can also walk around and see different buildings . It has a great green environment

For anyone like me who loves history, this is a must visit when in Addis Ababa. I could literally spend hours here with all the artefacts on display. Highly recommend.

We were quite disappointed with the Ethnological Museum. The exhibits lacked a clear structure, were poorly presented, and had few explanations provided. Many of the walls showed signs of water damage, and the pictures were either dirty or improperly hung. It seemed that there was little emphasis on conservation. Overall, our experience was disappointing. I would recommend visiting the National Museum instead.

What an interesting museum. I stopped here on a day trip and was happy I did; there's a lot of history in this museum and you could spend hours here.

I cannot explain how much I love this place! I lived here for a few years over ten years ago and coming back was a surprise: it has been renovated many times fully maintained its charm and essence. The former house of Emperor Haile Selassié is a national treasure and absolutely worth visiting to learn more about this amazing country!

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.

Hidden gem of Addis Ababa. You have to walk through campus. Building is not marked well. It says institute at the entrance. Beautiful palace with a lot of historical things inside and art gallery.
