➖ Ethnological Museum. We continue our tour of Addis Ababa with visit to the Ethnographic Museum which is found inside the compound of the Addis Ababa University This museum is very different to the National Museum. ➖ National Museum of Ethiopia. This is one of the best museums in quality and diversity of the exhibits. Archeological exhibits include the 3. 5 million-year-old fossil of Lucy (or Dinkinesh - 'thou art wonderful- in the native language), a hominoid woman of the specious of Australopithecus Afarensis.
