The National Museum of Ethiopia had been closed for renovation since Tahsas 2016 E.C. (December 2024). As of May 22, 2025 (Ginbot 14, 2017 E.C.), the renovation has been completed and the museum has officially reopened to the public.
The renovation work included the improvement and reorganization of historical and cultural exhibits, as well as repairs and upgrades to water systems. The renovation was funded and technically supported by the French Embassy.
One of the major highlights of the renovation is the expansion and modernization of the paleontology exhibit, which now offers a more spacious and up-to-date display.
