Really happy to see it once again after 22 years. Eventhough, much has not changed, I am grateful that it is still open for the public. My kids loved it. I hope in the future, this museum would also benefit from technological facilities like the new museums currently being built. Also, the museum deserves a larger space to display as well as expand. We, the greatest threats, can still do more as warranted by the amazing message at the exit of the museum.

Review for the Zoological Natural History Museum, Addis Ababa ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Zoological Natural History Museum in Addis Ababa is a hidden gem that offers a fascinating glimpse into Ethiopia's rich biodiversity and natural history. Established in 1955 at the University College of Addis Ababa, it holds the distinction of being the only natural history museum in the country, making it a must-visit for both locals and tourists alike. Located within the science faculty compound, the museum houses an impressive collection of over 1,100 animal species, showcasing the incredible variety of wildlife found in Ethiopia and beyond. The exhibits are well-organized and informative, providing insights into the ecological significance of each species and their habitats. During my visit, I was particularly impressed by the attention to detail in the displays, which highlight not only the beauty of the specimens but also the importance of conservation efforts. The museum's knowledgeable staff are passionate about educating visitors, and their enthusiasm truly enhances the experience. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, a student, or simply curious about Ethiopia's natural heritage, the Zoological Natural History Museum is a fantastic destination. It offers a unique opportunity to learn about the country's wildlife while appreciating the importance of preserving it for future generations. I highly recommend adding this museum to your itinerary when visiting Addis Ababa. It's a wonderful place to explore, discover, and appreciate the natural wonders of Ethiopia!

Best place to visit . It is found inside Addis Ababa university , College of natural and computational science compound . Several wild animals are found reserved ( killed and dried ) It has entrance fee For regular students (AAU students ) and children - 5 birr For adult Ethiopians - 15 birr For foreigners - 100 birr If you want to record and take a picture you have to pay another fee . But all the payments are totally worth it . I RECOMMEND YOU TO VISIT THIS PLACE .

Easy to miss. Still worth a walk through for the insect and mammal collections, modest though they are. Gives a sense of the biological diversity of the country.

Natural History Museum, Addis Ababa Natural History Museum was founded in 1955. Since then, it has been the only natural history museum in Ethiopia. It is housed in the Science Faculty Department of the University of Addis Ababa. You can see about 1100 species of African animals. These were collected by Mr. S. Patrizi at the time of the Italian occupation. Other university staff and students contributed to it as well. You can learn more about indigenous wildlife in Africa and Ethiopian fauna while visiting this museum.
