National museum, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
The National museum in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. A Historic Route from the time of prehistoric man.
National Museum of Ethiopia in Addis Ababa Many cultural and historical treasures
The museum houses the nation's artistic treasures as well as many of the most precious archaeological finds such as the fossilized remains of early hominids, the most famous of which is Lucy, the partial skeleton of a specimen of Australopithecus afarensis. Recently added to the basement gallery is a display on Selam, found between 2000 and 2004. Estimated to be 3.3 million years old, this A. afarensis specimen is considered to be the earliest child.
In 1936, the concept of a museum was first introduced in Ethiopia when an exhibition was opened, displaying ceremonial costumes donated by the royal family and their close associates. The current NME grew from the establishment of the Institute of Archaeology, which was founded in 1958. The institute was founded to promote and facilitate the archaeological research mission in the northern part of Ethiopia by French archaeologists.
The museum started its activities by exhibiting objects from these excavation missions. With the establishment of the Ethiopian Cultural Heritage Administration in 1976, the idea came up to open a National Museum, which was supported by the Government. The NME began to operate under the National Act which provides for the protection and preservation of antiquities, and has legislative authority governing all sites and monuments throughout the country of Ethiopia.
Later, the National Museum diversified its activities and organised into three working department, i.e. the conservation department, the documentation department and the exhibition and research department.
The NME at present has four main exhibition sections. The basement is dedicated to archaeological and paleoanthropological sections. This area show the previously mentioned hominids. The first floor contains objects from ancient and medieval periods, as well as regalia and memorabilia from former rulers, who include Emperor Haile Selassie. The second floor show art work in a chronological order, from traditional to contemporary works. These include murals, Afewerk Tekle and other Ethiopian artists. Finally, the third floor has an ethnographic display. Here, the museum tries to give an overview of the cultural richness and variety of the peoples of Ethiopia.

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: National Museum. Reconstructed full skeleton of Lucy
Please like my videos, and don't forget to subscribe by clicking the subscribe button up top!
This Museum has a wide variety of exhibits on three floors, telling stories from pre-historic, ancient and modern times. Of particular interest is the Lucy skeleton (found in 1974, named after the Beatles song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and said to be 3.2 mill years old) and displays from Haile Selassie's time on the Ethiopian throne. OPINIONS vary on this museum. Some eg Phillip Briggs of Bradt Guides think its great. Others see it is not very professionally done. The basement floor with Lucy etc is the best in terms of display.
The Ethiopian National Museum in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, is located close to the University of Addis Ababa Graduate School. The museum houses numerous antiquarian relics and archaeological artifacts showing the history of Ethiopia from prehistoric times to the modern day.
By far the most famous exhibit of the museum is the 3.5 million year-old skeleton of 'Lucy, the oldest hominid that has ever been found.
History
Lucy was found by Donald Johanson and Tom Gray on November 24, 1974, at Hadar in Ethiopia. Johanson spotted her forearm bone by chance during a surveying trip in the area. After two weeks of careful excavation, 40 percent of a single hominid skeleton had been discovered. (Hominid basically means a being in the ape/human family that walks upright.) She was identified as female based mainly on her size and other contextual evidence at Hadar, and has been classified in the species Australopithecus afarensis.
Lucy's skeleton has been dated to just under 3.18 million years old, making her the oldest hominid ever discovered. Fossils can't be dated directly, but the deposits in which they are found can now be dated with the 40Ar/39Ar (Argon-Argon) technique. This is added to other evidence, including the fossils themselves and the site where they were found, to produce a date.
