Africa Hall

The historic Africa Hall is one of Addis Ababa's landmarks. Inaugurated in 1961 by H.I.M. Emperor Haile Selassie, Africa Hall has been host to numerous meetings and African Heads of State’s decisions, among which was the adoption of the Charter of the Organization of African Unity (OAU). This has been immortalized by the artwork located within the Africa Hall, depicting the founding fathers of the OAU. The 150-square meter stained glass window in the foyer of Africa Hall was designed by the world famous Ethiopian Artist, Maître Afework Tekle. The artwork, divided into three parts, tells the story of "Africa Then", "Africa Then and Now", and "Africa Now and in the Future".

Africa Hall is currently under massive renovation in order to transform it into a state-of-the-art conference venue as well as a museum.  By the time the renovation work completes, Africa Hall is expected to be one of the most visited places in Addis Ababa.
