Zoma Museum
ዞማ ሙዚየም
Artist Elias Sime and anthropologist Meskerem Assegued spent two decades building this extraordinary compound of swirling wattle-and-daub buildings, contemporary art galleries, edible gardens and a vernacular architecture school. It's part museum, part living experiment in sustainable Ethiopian design.
☀️ Local tip
The on-site cafe uses produce from the garden — stay for lunch. Weekday visits are quietest; check their social media for events and open-air cinema nights.
