O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Smješten u bivšoj palači cara Hailea Selassieja, ovaj muzej pod jednim krovom čuva preko 5.000 godina etiopske baštine. Njegova zbirka uključuje neprocjenjive vjerske rukopise, krune i kraljevske artefakte koji pričaju priču o civilizaciji koja je razvila vlastito pismo i kalendar.
Istaknuto: Kraljevska spavaća soba sačuvana je točno onako kako ju je Haile Selassie ostavio, s njegovom osobnom kadom i skrivenim podzemnim tunelom koji se nekada koristio za bijegove. Znanstvenici još uvijek koriste izvornu čitaonicu u kojoj je car i sam učio, okruženi drevnim pergamentnim rukopisima koji mirišu na sandalovinu i starinu.
Insajderski savjeti
- Photography is not allowed inside the main exhibition halls, but you can take photos in the courtyard and outside the palace.
- Go to the upper floor first to see the throne room and royal bedroom before the crowds arrive.
- The museum shop sells authentic Ethiopian crosses and manuscripts at fair prices, better quality than tourist markets.
- Combine your visit with a walk through the lush university campus grounds afterward, shaded by towering eucalyptus trees.
