Visitors Laud Ethiopia’s Organized Archeological Artifacts, Heritages at National Museum

Addis ababa: Global Health Innovation and Quality Summit participants have commended the preservation of heritages and archeological artifacts of Ethiopia at the National Museum.

According to Ethiopian News Agency, the summit held in Addis Ababa over the last three days under the theme ‘Leveraging Health Innovation towards Achieving Universal Health Coverage’ concluded today. It has attracted around 800 face-to-face attendees and more than 1,500 virtual participants. Of these, some have visited different places in the country, including the National Museum.

Summit Coordinator Abebaw Derso told ENA that the face-to-face attendees visited places like the National Palace, the Unity Park, and the National Museum. The main objective of bringing the participants to visit the museum is to enable them to know about their country and add value to their previous understandings, he added. According to him, the visit to the National Museum is very significant to further promote what the country has and to enhance awareness of it.

First-time visitor Negash Seyoum expressed his thoughts, stating, “I only think of Lucy when I look at this museum.” He shared his surprise at the museum’s organization and the range of archaeological findings on display, saying, “I had no idea how this was organized. So it is an opportunity for me to visit the place.”

Preserving the heritages and archaeological artifacts of the nation is imperative as it contributes to Ethiopia becoming a tourist destination and a knowledge hub for archaeology. Negash believes that Ethiopia is poised to become a laboratory for archaeology, and organizing a modern museum in such a way will increase awareness and further promote tourism.

Similarly, Amer Abdulla emphasized the significance of the changes in organizing heritages and archaeological artifacts, highlighting its importance in educating generations.
