Addis Ababa Museum: A Glimpse into History

Founded in 1986, the Addis Ababa Museum serves as a historical archive of the capital's evolution, portraying a city once comprised of tents and now a bustling metropolis.

The museum features candid portraits of Empress Taitu, Lij Iyasu, and Empress Zewditu, alongside photographs documenting Addis Ababa’s growth. Among its unique offerings is a 'first-in-Ethiopia' room, highlighting landmarks like the first motor car (1907) and the first telephone introduced by Ras Makonnen in 1890.
