LeLa Art Gallery
Set in a villa with a sculpture-dotted garden beyond Old Airport, LeLa is one of Addis's most respected commercial galleries, showing modern and contemporary Ethiopian painting with regular openings and a small café vibe. It's a calm, personal way to meet the local art scene — and prices span from student works to blue-chip names.
