Ethiopian National Museum - If you like to see Lucy, our famous ancestor, you have to go to the National Museum of Addis Abeba. This fossilised homonid, named Lucy, is discovered in 1974. In reality you will see the replica, because the real bones are preserved in the archives of the museum. In the basement of the museum around Lucy you can see a lot of other fossiles. At the ground and first floor you will see a lot of archaeological and ethnological artefacts, like earthenware, pots, bowls and statues, focusing at the (pre)Aksumite, Solomonic and Gonder periods. The National Museum is one of the most important Sub-Saharan museums in Africa.
