Famous museum attractions in Ethiopia: National Museum of Ethiopia, suitable for checking in and taking photos📸

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Ethiopia is a world-famous tourist and holiday country, with thousands of tourists coming here for sightseeing and holiday every day. There are many museum attractions in Ethiopia. This time I will introduce a very famous museum attraction in the local area: the National Museum of Ethiopia. In the capital Addis Ababa, a must-see attraction is the National Museum. From the outside, this museum looks no different from a teaching building of a Chinese university. It is a short three-story building, and most of the collections on display are local cultural objects. The ticket price is 50 Ethiopian riels, which is about 3 RMB according to the local exchange rate. Most people come here to see Lucy, the so-called grandmother of mankind. There are too many movies, TV shows and cultural works that describe Lucy. I also heard about her a long time ago and when I saw her, I really felt that she was so small! It is about 1.1 meters long, and looking at our human ancestors from millions of years ago really gives you a feeling of traveling through time! Very magical! But in fact, the biggest star in this museum is not Lucy, but an even older human fossil named Salem! It is 4 million years old, and there is a special TV in the exhibition hall showing her excavation story, which is a treatment that even Lucy didn’t have! The entire excavation process took more than ten years, which is really shocking!
