ETHIOPIAN NATIONAL MUSEUM OF ETHIOPIA. Located in the capital Addis Ababa, the National Museum of Ethiopia boasts an intriguing collection of wonders such as archaeological artefacts showing the history of Ethiopia from prehistoric times to modern day. Here you'll find fossils of extinct creatures like the Homotherium, also known as the scimitar cat, which went extinct approximately 10,000 years ago. There's also a display of the Notochoerus, which were among the largest pigs that ever existed. The crowd puller, however, is the 3.2 million-year old skeleton of "Lucy," one of the oldest hominids ever discovered.
Some of the historical treasures housed in the museum include pieces of the ancient Kingdom of Aksum and the Solomonic dynasty. There's also a vivid display of Ethiopian arts and crafts, including traditional weapons, musical instruments, utensils, clothing and jewellery.
