Yimtubezina Museum and Cultural Center
Our Services
Permanent and Temporary Exhibitions
Established to be state-of-the-art museum, YZ is equipped with a variety of features such as showcases, panels, lights, and more. The museum's nine main rooms are redesigned to be used for a variety of purposes. Six of those rooms will serve as permanent and temporary exhibition halls, with a total area of ​​114 sq. meters.
Gallery
Among the multidimensional definitions and types of cultural heritage, artwork is one that represents a certain society's values, daily activities, and identities.
Despite the high number of artists working in Addis Ababa, the actual number of working galleries is very small. Realizing this, our museum works in collaboration with various artists and art institutions.
Our Library
As a result of the changes it has undergone so far, YZ has been able to collect and organize various art, culture, and heritage-related media such as magazines and newspapers, as well as exhibition catalogs.
The museum has collected over 200 books on Ethiopian culture and history, with another 200 more books on art specific to Ethiopia.
In order to widely share our collection and encourage learning on Ethiopian history and culture, YZ has established an Arts, Culture and Heritage Library for the benefit of the wider community and art lovers.
