Why Are Ticket Prices So Affordable?



The National Museum of Ethiopia keeps admission fees intentionally low to ensure that Ethiopia’s history and cultural heritage remain accessible to everyone.



Unlike many museums that rely heavily on ticket sales, the museum operates with broader institutional support through the Ethiopian Heritage Foundation, public funding, partnerships, and donations. This support allows the museum to focus on education, preservation, and public access rather than revenue generation. Low ticket prices help preserve cultural access, support education, encourage tourism, and fulfill a national mission. As a cultural institution, the museum’s purpose is to safeguard and share history, not to operate as a commercial attraction. Your visit, donations, and support help us continue protecting Ethiopia’s irreplaceable treasures for future generations.
