Wukro Museum
ቤተ መዘክር ውቕሮ
An archaeological museum displaying artifacts from the Almaqah moon-god temple of the Ad Akaweh Sabaean period, shedding light on pre-Aksumite civilization.
The museum was established by the German Archaeological Institute in cooperation with local partners. Its core collection comes from the Almaqah temple at Mekaber Gerua near Wukro, including inscribed stone altars, incense burners, pottery and statues dating to roughly the 8th to 7th centuries BCE. Like the temple at Yeha, they belong to the pre-Aksumite civilization. The museum is in Wukro town and can be visited together with Wukro Cherkos Church. Opening status depends on the regional situation, so please check before you travel.
