The Red Terror Martyrs' Memorial Museum in Addis Ababa serves as a poignant reminder of Ethiopia's brutal "Red Terror" period under the Derg regime. Situated centrally, it is generally accessible via local transport, though specific wheelchair accessibility may vary for all sections. While solo visits are possible, engaging a local guide is highly recommended to gain deeper historical context and navigate the emotionally challenging exhibits, which include graphic imagery and personal artifacts of victims. The museum typically operates year-round during standard daytime hours, closing on major holidays, and visitors should allocate 1 to 2 hours for a thorough visit. The approximate cost is a modest entry fee, usually around 100-200 ETB for foreigners, making it an affordable yet profoundly impactful experience. Visitors should be prepared for a solemn and often confronting experience, with photography often restricted in certain areas.
