National Museum of Eritrea

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Museum of Eritrea was inaugurated in 1992 by Woldeab Woldemariam. The Museum was originally located in the former Governor's Palace until it was moved in 1997.[1] It has since been moved to the former Comboni Sisters School for Women.

The function of the National Museum of Eritrea is to promote Eritrean history and to present it to people of Eritrea. Furthermore it is to investigate new archaeological sites and explore the history of Eritrea. In 1996, Eritrea nominated these five sites to be considered as UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Adulis, Dahlak Kebir, Matara, Nakfa, Qohaito.
