Trent Hunt Very small and could use some context rather than just presenting images. They could also do with turning the lights on although I appreciate it does not receive much funding. As the reviews mention entry is by donation however if you donate less than $10 per person expect them to hassle you
Alex Thiel I only gave 5 stars because of the importance of this place. It’s not Gouvernement financed and is in a bad shape. Relying solely on donations this place is in dire need of it. I met a guide who explains one everything about those dark times in Ethiopia and the struggle and poverty of the Ethiopian 🇪🇹 poeple. Please support.
Paul Rausch It’s a small, simple museum. It’s more of a memorial than a museum. It has problems with illumination and the content is grim. But there are some quality documentary artifacts and a some simple highlights. It take less than 20 minutes. The staff are kind and the entry is free. Narration, background or explanation would be helpful to better contextualise the space.
Mikiyas Melkamu The Red Terror Martyrs’ Memorial Museum is a powerful reminder of the struggles endured by those under oppressive regimes. The exhibits document the impact of the Red Terror in Ethiopia and provide a sobering look at the unconscionable acts of violence and injustice inflicted upon citizens of Ethiopia. The museum is incredibly poignant and serves as a platform to deliver an important message: those who have suffered under a violent government have a voice and it must be heard. Additionally, it is free to enter, making it an accessible place to learn and remember. Apart from the physical museum, there is much to be learned from discussions with locals. It is important to gain insight from those who lived through the Red Terror and can provide multiple perspectives on the political situation at the time. It is equally as important to speak to the younger generations and understand their views of life today in comparison. The museum, plus conversations with those affected, offer a deeper understanding of the past and the present.
All5ity Very interesting museum about an unfortunate time in history. It would be nice to see a consistent upkeep of this place. I went to visit in December of 2022. The entrance had no glass/windows, no lights on the inside, & someone on the outside asking for money to be my guide. I turned the guy down and went inside on my own.
