Philatelic Museum in Addis Ababa, March 2008
This museum is located in an annex to the main post office building. It contains an almost full set of Ethiopian stamps in frames that can be pulled out for viewing. There are also stamps and things from many other countries in the museum.
My friend Wondimu arranged for a private tour with the department manager and the manager of the museum.
