ADDIS ABABA
Addis Ababa (the name means 'new flower') is of
fairly recent origin - Menelik II founded the
city in 1887 but is an important administrative
centre not only for Ethiopia but also for the
whole of Africa. Situated in the foothills of the
Entoto Mountains and standing 2,400 metres above
sea level it is the third highest capital in the
world. The city has a population of about four
million. The National Museum of Ethiopia (NME),
also referred to as the Ethiopian National
Museum, is the primary museum in Ethiopia. It is
located in the nation's capital, Addis Ababa,
near the graduate school of Addis Ababa University
