The most interesting Museum in Addis Abeba for me is the Ethnological Museum in the former palace of Emperor Haile Selassie. At the first floor you can find an outstanding exhibition of all the traditions of the country from birth to death, like childhood, games, rites, nomadism, body culture, traditional medicine, burial customs. At the second floor you can find a thematic exhibition of all kinds of traditional music instruments and listen to the music too. There are also icons, Ethiopian crosses and other religious art exhibited at this floor. In the museum you can also visit the bedroom and the bathroom of Haile Selassi. Opening Hours: 8am till 5 pm at Tues Wed Thur Fri (closed at lunchtime from 11.30am till 1.30 pm) 10am till 6pm at Sat Sun. Entrance fee: 20 birrSidist Kilo, Ethnological Museum
