It is named after Zoma Shiferraw, a young artist who died of cancer in 1979.THE MISSION of  Zoma Museum of African Art is centered around learning and bring into the present construction techniques that have withstood time and weathering while maintaining their grace and beauty. This African Art museum’s aim is to showcase innovative and cutting-edge art and architecture in a vernacular museum where the old and the new merge.
 

ZOMA Museum is an environmentally conscious art institution in Addis Ababa. The mission is to act as a bridge between artists and architects from around the world to create cutting-edge ecological art and architecture. In this context, Zoma Museum of African Art is built using ancient yet still existing construction techniques. The building materials include mud, straw, stone, wood, and cement. .
