Understand the life of locals from a European perspective at Jinka Museum, dedicated to preserving certain aspects of traditional tribal life in the Omo Valley. Chronicling the transformation of the tribes, the museum exhibits a number of tools and clothing items in its hall. The German-funded center focuses on raising awareness about issues like female circumcision and scarring of women, and presents some of these topics through video material and leaflets. Set in a stone hilltop building overlooking the city, the research center also has a library, a large garden, and excellent views of Jinka. Volunteers will tell you what they have learned about Ethiopia. To visit Jinka Museum and other attractions in Jinka, use our Jinka online itinerary maker .
