Average experience
The building belongs to the 1960s and not much renovation has been done. The entire place is on three floors, each focusing on one part of the Ethiopian culture and history. It's just OK to get a glimpse at the life in different parts of Ethiopia and the major events that has happened throughout the history. One thing the management should note is that not all the items on display have descriptions is English. This makes the experience not very pleasant. Also, some improvement to the display areas and the Chambers will make the place more attractive.

I Love Lucy
The skeleton of Lucy and the accompanying information on this and other finds are what makes this museum. It is, to me at least, by far the most interesting aspect of the place while the rest, though interesting, do not take up much time to see. Worth a visit when you are pressed for time.
