Zoma Museum
ዞማ ሙዚየም
This contemporary art complex, co-founded with artist Elias Sime, pairs buildings made with traditional mud and straw techniques with gardens.
Opened in 2019, the museum's buildings use traditional Ethiopian mud, straw and wood construction, and the artist personally decorated them. The grounds include an edible garden, a pond, a primary school and a café, and the museum regularly shows contemporary Ethiopian art. It is one of the few quiet corners in the city, well suited to visitors interested in architecture and art. Admission is moderate, and opening hours should be confirmed on the official website.
