Heritage Authority to embark on designs next yearThe Ethiopian Heritage Authority is readying to embark on the construction of two large museum projects following the approval of a long-awaited multimillion birr budget by officials at the Ministry of Finance. The Ministry has allocated 50 million birr towards feasibility studies and designs for a new National Museum and a Human Origins Museum in Addis Ababa. “The current small national museum is inadequate,” said Abebaw. The National Museum will be dedicated to showcasing Ethiopian heritage, including achievements in athletics and the country’s artistic history. These include the Red Terror Martyrs Memorial Museum near Meskel Square and other sites located on the road from the heart of Addis Ababa to Entoto, such as the Science Museum, Unity Park, and others.
