NATIONAL MUSEUM

Museums

The museum is located in a former convent at a few streets of the Presidential Palace.

The collections are rather small and are not of great interest but, in the middle of the stuffed animals and some paintings representing the recent history of the nation, there are interesting parts from the excavations of the country's archaeological sites: ruins of the Axoumite port of Adulis, carved tombstones from the Dahlak Islands, dating from the ninth in the th century, and some sabéens objects. Old wooden doors, as well as the Épée sword, are also part of this small museum.
