Red Terror Martyrs Memorial Museum provides a powerful reminder of the scale of atrocity during the Red Terror massacres under the Derg Regime. Established in 2010 to memorialize the 500,000 victims of the late 1970s violent Marxist political campaign, the museum educates visitors about the events leading up to and including the massacre. Learn the history of the government's assault on its own people through artifacts from mass graves, torture instruments, and a harrowing collection of photographs of those who perished. Some areas include little signage, but a tour guide will add an in-depth history to accompany the displays. Plan your Red Terror Martyrs Memorial Museum visit and explore what else you can see and do in Addis Ababa using our Addis Ababa vacation planner.

I was expecting a more sombre outlook from a chapter in the Ethiopian history but the museum seemed more like an afterthought than a means to convey national sentiments. But worth a visit if you are..... more

It's an essential place to visit if you are willing to know and understand how the "Durg" used to rule Ethiopia. Free entrance.

Free entrance, Its good to k that about yesterday to predict our tomorrow, its one of the darkest periods of our country, Sadly its still happening twin brothers killing each other. Its sad knowing that there will be another museum in the next decades like this. Good place to visit
